Remarks by His Excellency AbdulRahman AbdulRazaq at a One-day Retreat for Community Development Council Leaders in Kwara State in Offa on Saturday December 18, 2021
Man is a social animal. They belong to communities, associations, clubs, and other social strata. As it is often said, if you want to go fast, go alone. If you want to go far, go together (with people). I believe strongly that the best and the most enduring platform for growth and development is the community.
Our administration therefore has continued to engage critical stakeholders in the development of our State since we assumed office on May 29th 2021. We recognised the roles that community development associations (CDAs) play in the development of their respective communities. For that reason we have organised them into a governable structure known as community development council (CDC) in every local government area with a central administrative team at the state level.
We will continue to partner these associations in our communities to bring about rapid socio-economic change that we always pursue. We implore our community leaders to show more interest in security matters. We urge them to birth and own various initiatives to strengthen security in their neighbourhood.
Our investment in human capital development and infrastructure will yield the desired results if you everyone gets involved in our renewed efforts to secure lives and properties. As a government we have never relaxed in our commitment to have a secured community, even as we pursue other developmental agenda.
The TVS 3s (service, sales and spares) center in Offa is almost ready and will be commissioned soon. This is one of our community-driven investments that will add to the GDP of this commercial town and the state as a whole. We have similar investments in Araromipo, Irepodun local government area, and Igbaja in Ifelodun local government area.
I congratulate you for coming together to have this retreat and wish you a successful deliberation.
Thank you.
