Kwara govt committed to people-focused budgeting, good governance: AbdulRazaq
Governor AbdulRahman AbdulRazaq has reaffirmed his administration’s commitment to people-focused budgeting and good governance, ensuring no community is left behind in Kwara’s development.
According to Mr AbdulRazaq, Kwarans have a right to good governance, adding that his administration will continue to invest in programmes and projects designed to improve citizens’ lives.
The governor stated this in Osi, Ekiti council area, during a citizens’ engagement for the 2027 Budget Preparation Process, organised by the Ministry of Planning and Economic Development.
Mr AbdulRazaq said that any fiscal plan designed to deliver meaningful impact must reflect the experiences, priorities and aspirations of citizens.
In a statement on Tuesday, the ministry’s spokesman, Tayo Falade, quoted the governor as assuring people in the area that every contribution made during the engagement would receive due consideration.
“When we came in 2019, we made a promise that our government would be open, transparent and people-centred. Today’s citizens’ engagement is one more proof of that promise. A budget is not just figures on paper but a reflection of our collective priorities, our hopes and our plan to make life better for every Kwaran,” he said.
Mr AbdulRazaq said the state had witnessed remarkable infrastructure renewal under his administration, with hundreds of kilometres of urban and rural roads constructed or rehabilitated. He listed other areas of intervention, including education, healthcare, and social safety nets.
