Kwara State Governor Abdulrahman AbdulRazaq on Thursday launched the disbursement of N50,000 grant each for no fewer than 4,000 Kwara artisans to support their businesses and strengthen the local economy.
“History bears us witness that we are doing that already through the Kwara State Social Investment Programme. We will not drop the ball,” AbdulRasaq said at the launch in Ilorin, the state capital. “What we are doing today takes our policy of inclusive growth to a new height. Artisans are the custodians of various skills and key drivers of sustainable economic growth. Their inclusion in this intervention will therefore help to encourage skills development and grow the economy,” he said.
The acting General Manager for KWASSIP, AbdulQuowiyu Olododo, for his part, said 4,000 artisans were carefully selected from 13,000 applicants across the 16 local governments, calling it another giant step towards eradicating poverty in the state. President, state Artisans Congress, Alhaji Jimoh Adeshina, appreciated the governor for his leadership style and how he has been supporting the local artisans in various ways.
Adeshina said Kwara artisans cannot quantify the large impacts of support they are getting from the administration, alluding to various programmes that so far benefitted his members.
