President Muhammadu Buhari’s Chief of Staff, Professor Ibrahim Gambari has applauded the economic developments in Kwara state led by Governor AbdulRahman AbdulRazaq’s administration.
He gave the commendation during the launch of the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) Economic Revitalisation Programme in Ilorin, the state’s capital.
He said the Governor’s programmes and ongoing projects, including the garment factory, represent a positive economic development in the State.
Gambari’s attendance at the UNDP event was preceded by his brief tour of the State garment factory and the Kwara State Social Investment Programme office where he also interacted with some applicants of the Kwapreneur 3.0 – an initiative to fund businesses of young people with non-interest loan and or grants.
“Let me thank His Excellency the Governor for the gracious hospitality he accorded us since we came. Before we came here, we have been taken round to see some of the programmes of economic development and empowerment for which the administration has become very known, including the Garment industry which will be an engine of growth and creator of wealth which will further reduce the poverty level in this state.“
According to him, the governor has demonstrated the possibilities of change or progress in the state.
He hailed the State’s social investment programmes which had been modelled after President Muhammadu Buhari’s famous safety net programmes.
Gambari also praised AbdulRazaq for partnering with the United Nations Development Programme on the cash transfer initiative that he said can change the lives and destinies of the beneficiaries if adequately used.
