Mr Ademola Banu was Kwara State Commissioner for Finance between 2011 and 2019. In this conversation with THISDAY, the former banker turned politician analyses Kwara State and national matters. Excerpts:
His successor, Ahmed’s administration also constructed many roads, vocational centres, underpass at Geri-Alimi and many others. He also enhanced the internally generated revenue by increasing those taxable. There was also enhanced security of lives and property. The State government has not been able to fulfil any of its campaign promises three and half years after being in office. The issue of minimum wage was only addressed recently when they realized that another election is close by. At a time, the State government took the civil servants to court for demanding for minimum wage. This government is an undertaker whose only achievement in the state is the destruction of the legacies of its predecessors.
The government of Dr Bukola Saraki paid N2.2 billion for the rehabilitation and upgrading of Asa Dam water treatment plant referred to as Primary Rehabilitation in 2009. Furthermore, the administration of Alhaji Abdulfatah Ahmed completed the reticulation of pipelines across Ilorin metropolis referred to as Secondary Reticulation at the cost of N6.5 billion in 2019.
The matter was withdrawn from court by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission as they did not have any evidence to prove the allegations against me. Meanwhile, I will like to use this opportunity to express my appreciation to the new leadership of the EFCC for their professionalism.
