Governor AbdulRahman AbdulRazaq of Kwara State has reiterated his administration’s commitment to security, saying no resource will be spared to rout out criminal elements threatening peace in the state.
The pledge is coming in the wake of the latest security situation in the state, which led to the relocation of the National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) orientation camp from Yikpata in Edu Local Government to Ilorin, as well as the temporary closure of cattle markets before the decision was modified to allow restricted hours of operation.
He spoke on Monday at the Kwara South Development Initiative (KSDI) strategic consultation of leaders in Omu Aran.
According to him, security remains a collective responsibility that requires the vigilance and partnership of all stakeholders to support relevant agencies in keeping communities safe.
“We are sparing no resources to strengthen security and rout out criminal elements. Security is a collective responsibility, and your partnership and support for the security agencies is vital in this monumental task,” he said
He urged vigilance over the issue, adding that the enemies have informants and enablers within the communities.
He called for a collective effort to unmask criminals to keep the communities safe and conducive for growth.
The governor listed ongoing developmental projects across Kwara South, including the completion of 63 kilometers of roads and another 109 kilometers under construction.
AbdulRazaq said his administration has awarded contracts for the upgrade of Offa and Lafiagi stadia and completed the Osi Campus of the Kwara State University to advance education and youth empowerment.
While commending community-driven initiatives and sacrifices of council chairmen, traditional rulers, thought leaders, and vigilantes, the governor paid tribute to those who lost their lives defending their communities.
He urged the people to remain united in supporting the government’s efforts, noting that Kwara South is critical to the overall growth and development of the state.
