Gov. AbdulRahman AbdulRazaq of Kwara says he will send a Bill to replicate the Federal Government’s anti-poverty Social Investment Programmes to the State House of Assembly.
“The thrust of the administration is to lift our people from poverty line and how to go about it is through agriculture. We have a goldmine in ARMTI and we will take full advantage of your resource. Earlier, the Executive Director of ARMTI, Olufemi Ajayi, lauded AbdulRazaq for his commitment to development.
He appealed to the Centre to set up Poundo Yam Processing firms in the Baruten axis of the northern senatorial district as part of efforts to spread development. “So, we want to bring it back instead of going to China to bring equipment. Give us a proposal to see what you can do in this regard,” he added .
