Kwara State Governor AbdulRahman AbdulRazaq on Monday outlined major infrastructure projects earmarked for Ifelodun Local Government Area, assuring stakeholders of his administration’s commitment to improving roads, bridges, and other amenities to spur development.

Meeting with traditional rulers, clerics, politicians, youth leaders, and other community stakeholders led by council chairman Haji Femi Yusuf, the Governor reeled out ongoing and proposed projects across the council area.

They include the Ajase-Ipo–Oke Ode–Sagbe Road, Alabe–Oreke Road, Oro Ago Road, Ora township road (to be reawarded), and Orisa Bridge. AbdulRazaq also disclosed that Akamo Bridge and rehabilitation of portions of the Share–Babanla Road are on the state government’s radar.

He lauded community-driven efforts such as the ICT Centre in Igbaja, describing them as a complement to state-led development initiatives.
“Our administration is scaling up infrastructure projects to drive growth and prosperity in Ifelodun. I urge community leaders to continue engaging government constructively so we can achieve more together,” AbdulRazaq said.

The Governor also touched on security, noting that the state was working closely with the Office of the National Security Adviser and security agencies to address threats in Ifelodun, Patigi, and Edu. He cautioned against exaggerated reports of insecurity, saying such narratives could affect investments.
“I assure you of our efforts to eliminate the threats. As we work together to make our communities safer, I want to advise that investments may be affected if we don’t strike a balance in how we project our communities to the outside world,” he said.

In their responses, stakeholders pledged support for the administration and praised its projects in the area.
“We appreciate the swift response and unwavering support of the state government… particularly the Ajase to Sagbe road project and other strategic interventions that have further boosted public confidence in your administration and in the All Progressive Congress (APC),” said Haji Femi Yusuf.

Former lawmaker Alhaji Kola Yusuf described the projects as visible proof of government’s commitment. “We are very grateful to Your Excellency for your visible efforts. We can see it, and we thank you,” he said.

Elder Oyin Zubair urged further support for residents affected by recent security incidents while expressing confidence that the government’s current deployment of security forces would restore peace to the area.
