Kwara State Governor, Alhaji AbdulRahman AbdulRazaq, has said no government since 1999, has delivered as many projects in road connectivity, education, health, sports or tech infrastructure as his government had done in the last six years in the state.

AbdulRazaq stated this in Ilorin on Tuesday while receiving the Integrity Governor of the Year Award of the Nigerian Association of Christian Journalists (NACJ).

“We have made significant achievements in the areas of  road connectivity, education, health, sports or tech infrastructure as we have done in the last six years.

“Beyond the routine adherence to the bureaucratic due processes and transparency, our state has often come out in good standing in peer-review indices for transparency and good governance, including at the level of programmes conducted by the World Bank and other global bodies.

“We have made significant progress in every sector. We are clearly leaving the state better networked in road and other socioeconomic indices. And we are not resting.

“And no government since 1999 has delivered as many projects in road connectivity, education, health, sports or tech infrastructure as we have done in the last six years.

“We take this award as an acknowledgement of our modest efforts to improve the conditions of our people and deliver political goods to the largest majority,” he said.

He thanked the Association for the honour, which he dedicated to the people of the state for their support and trust in his administration.

Earlier, presenting the award, the national president of the Association, Dr. Charles Okhai, said AbdulRazaq merited the recognition on account of his impressive achievements across many sectors.

Okhai said the Governor emerged top in the ranking process involving four other states.
