The Kwara Government says its unwavering commitment to the welfare of workers and pensioners has led to the prompt and regular payment of salaries and pensions in the state.
The state’s Commissioner for Finance, Dr. Hauwa Nuru, told newsmen in Ilorin on Wednesday that Gov. AbdulRahman AbdulRazaq’s commitment and dedication to addressing workers’ welfare and well-being exemplifies this.
“The present administration will be remembered as one of the most worker-friendly governments in the history of the state.
“Over the past four years, Gov. AbdulRazaq has consistently ensured that state workers are provided with the necessary tools and enabling environment to thrive, supported by robust welfare packages,” she said.
The Commissioner, while highlighting government’s efforts, stated that the administration has consistently paid pensions and ensured prompt payment of workers’ salaries since its inception.
She affirmed the commitment of the state government to meeting the basic needs of the people, while providing transparent and accountable leadership.
“Kwara is poised for significant economic growth and development, which presents it with a unique opportunity to usher in a new era of sustained prosperity for itself,” Nuru said.
She also highlighted the success of the Kwara NG-CARES programme, which provided emergency relief to those most affected by COVID-19, the less privileged and the vulnerable group in the society.
“The programme has been effective and has positively impacted a large number of residents,” the Commissioner said.
She added that the state government was investing heavily in infrastructure development to boost revenue generation, create job opportunities and make the state more attractive for investments.
