•Gov commiserates with communities

Kwara State Governor AbdulRahman AbdulRazaq has appointed a delegation led by Deputy Governor Kayode Alabi to visit Odo-Ase community in Oke Ero Local Government Area over the Friday night downpour that washed away the bridge linking the community with other parts of the state.

The delegation also visited the Orisa Bridge, where the embankment was washed away, amid ongoing construction of a new bridge at the same spot by the administration.
On the entourage of the Deputy Governor are the Permanent Secretary of the Ministry of Works and Transport Alhaji Ishaq Olorukooba and other officials from the Ministry, among others.

The delegation visited the communities on Saturday to commiserate with the people as well as assess the requirements for reconstruction.

“The Governor sends his commiserations to the people of the communities. He reassures them that immediate steps will be taken to reconstruct the bridge as soon as possible to reconnect the people to their neighbouring communities,” according to a statement on Saturday.
