Adhere To Laws On Mineral Exploration, Kwara Gov Tells Citizens
Kwara State governor, AbdulRahman AbdulRazaq yesterday called for adherence to relevant laws of the land in mineral exploration in Kwara north and other parts of the state.
AbdulRazaq spoke when the All Progressives Congress (APC) campaign team visited the district head of Lade community, Alh Abubakar Haruna in Patigi local government area.
“I congratulate you that God has made you find wealth on your land. I want to urge Your Highness and the entire community to manage the resources very well. The powers on solid minerals are vested in the federal government. So, while you are doing it, you should follow relevant laws and do what you are doing peacefully for the benefit of the state,”
“I have seen progress unlike before in Lade. So, there would be much pressure from outside and within, unlike before. I urge you to prioritise peace.
“On the issues raised by His Royal Highness, we will address them one after the other. On the issue of doctors at Cottage Hospital and the ongoing road construction at the dispensary, we will get the contractors to do all necessary things, “ the governor stated.
On the desilting of Lade irrigation dam, AbdulRazaq urged the community leaders to forward their request for immediate attention.
“I am glad that His Royal Highness raised the issue of irrigation farming. You did not abandon farming because of the discovery of lithium. I urge you to continue to do the right things,” he added.
The governor solicited support for the candidates of APC at all levels, adding: “Senator Sadiq Umar has done well in the last three and half years. What he is doing here is being replicated all over the five local government areas in Kwara North. I implore you to vote for him and other candidates of our party. All our candidates are not strangers here. You have seen what we have done in the last three and half years. There have been changes. The biggest challenge we have now is the Tsaragi-Patigi road, and we will ensure that the next APC administration fixes it.”
The district head of Lade, commended the governor for the ongoing work on Lade Cottage Hospital and the road construction.
“We are grateful to God for giving us a listening Governor. We are very grateful to God for giving us a governor who is concerned about the welfare of the people. He has done a lot of things for us in Lade even before he became governor he has always done well to us.
“We have seen a lot of things you have done for us in Lade. We will reciprocate the good gesture by giving you one hundred per cent votes in Lade,” the monarch said.
