Kwara State Governor, AbdulRahman AbdulRazaq, on Saturday inspected the ongoing construction of the 49-kilometre Eiyenkorin–Afon–Ojoku–Offa–Odo-Otin road, commending the quality and pace of the project funded under the federal tax credit scheme.
The road, one of four major projects financed in Kwara State through the scheme, is being undertaken by the BUA Group in collaboration with the federal government. Governor AbdulRazaq described it as a critical investment that reflects the implementation of President Bola Tinubu’s infrastructure-led economic agenda.
“This is a major federal project linking Ilorin and Offa. The quality is solid, and the impact will be significant. Once completed, it will reduce travel time to Offa to just 30 minutes,” the governor said after receiving a briefing from the site engineer, Abdulsalam Onaolapo.
He praised the tax credit scheme as a model for accelerating road infrastructure and expressed gratitude to President Tinubu for supporting projects in the state.
“This is another product of the Renewed Hope Agenda. We appreciate Mr. President for the support. The infrastructure spending is visible. It is clear the policies are working,” he added.
Accompanied by the Special Adviser on Special Duties, AbdulRazaq Jiddah, and the Chairman of the State Universal Basic Education Board (SUBEB), Prof. Shehu Raheem Adaramaja, the governor also inspected the renovation works at the Primary Healthcare Centre in Okesho, Asa Local Government Area.
AbdulRazaq said the people of Kwara State recognise the investments being made across sectors and would continue to support President Tinubu beyond 2027 to allow the administration’s reforms to be fully realised.
According to him, the ongoing construction during the rainy season is a sign of commitment and efficiency, commending BUA Group for delivering work of high standard. He noted that similar efforts are ongoing on the Bode Sadu–Kaiama–Kosubosu road.
“The quality of the job by BUA is commendable. Even in difficult weather conditions, work continues. We’ve seen similar progress elsewhere in the state. It is clear this is not window dressing,” he said.
