Kwara State Governor, AbdulRahman AbdulRazaq has said he would revive the state economy and tourism sector with proper infrastructure, especially roads.
He said this at the yearly Ganni Festival in Gwanara in Baruten Local Government Area of the state on Saturday.
According to him, his government will improve tourism as a revenue earner for the state.
His words, “We want to put our various festivals and tourist centres in the national tourism calendar. We will push the agenda to the Tourism Board in Abuja so people will come here,”
“But we need to also develop ourselves because people will not come when there’s no good infrastructure like hotel and good roads which can make it difficult for tourists to come and witness the exposition of our culture. In shaa Allah (God willing) with this administration, (such lack of basic infrastructure) will be a thing of the past.
“Part of what we intend to do is to take the road from border here straight to Okuta to Kosubosu to Kaiama and to Bode Saadu. Works engineers have done the bill of quantity and the road has been designed already since we came in. That’s part of my discussion with the Minister of Works and Housing recently.”
