Senate President, Bukola Saraki

The Senate President, Dr Bukola Saraki has assured the people of Kwara State of his avowed commitment to attracting more capital projects and appointments into the state.

He said the people of the state deserve nothing but the best in acknowledgement of their support for him and the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) in the state.

Saraki gave the assurance shortly after inspecting some on going federal road projects in Ilorin and Asa local government area of the state. 

The road projects he inspected include Afon/Aboto/Oyo state boundary road construction and  Michael Imodu/Afon Junction in Ilorin.

The Senate President facilitated the award of contracts for the two all- important federal roads.

Prior to Saraki’s intervention, the boundary road was in a deplorable condition with its attendant motor accidents and incessant robbery operations along the route.
