Kwara Gov AbdulRahman AbdulRazaq dropped a massive N644bn “Budget of Consolidation and Sustained Growth” Monday before state lawmakers, stacking 65.98% on capital firepower to wrap ongoing mega-projects, crush kidnapping via security tech/vehicles and turbocharge jobs—while 34% fuels worker perks, vulnerable aid and human capital like teacher allowances and doc pay bumps amid N1,400/$ exchange bets.
Tagging it legacy-critical with oil at $64.85/bbl and 4.68% GDP hopes, AbdulRazaq spotlighted 2025 wins: 38 roads/29 interlocks done, 264km more rolling, plus Innovation Hub (20M$ tech boom), Kwara Hotel, ICC, KSU campuses and Smart City—doubling down on Alfalfa Estate to tame herder-farmer beefs, feed Naija and chain thousands into agri prosperity.
Speaker Salihu Yakubu-Danladi hailed fiscal discipline and transparency, vowing quick passage with MDAs to nail dev priorities—watched by Dep Gov Kayode Alabi, fed lawmaker Raheem Olawuyi and APC chiefs, proving AbdulRazaq’s pragmatic inclusion builds safer streets, biz booms and welfare waves for Kwara’s next-level grind.
