The Kwara State Governor, Abdulfatah Ahmed, has solicited the partnership and cooperation of the Saudi Arabian Government in the areas of agriculture, education and manufacturing sectors.
He said most of the security problems confronting the country are as a result of illiteracy and joblessness of youths.
The governor, who spoke at the foundation laying ceremony of the proposed Darul-Kitab University, Agbeyangi in Ilorin East Local Government Area of the state, said the establishment of the university would contribute to solving the challenges confronting youths.
He said his administration established the International Vocational Centre, Ajasepo to address technical and vocational skills required for the developmental needs of the state
Ahmed assured the public that his administration would continue to create enabling environment for the establishment of such institutions and investment opportunities.
The Proprietor of the proposed university, Dr. Abdulkadir Sholapgberu, said the institution has secured an interim approval from the National Universities Commission (NUC) to proceed on erecting structures for the university.
He said the desire to establish the university was as a result of the passion to contribute to the development of the community just as he did with Darul-Khitab College, Wasauna, Ilorin.
