OPINION BY IBRAHIM ABDULLATEEF: How AbdulRahman AbdulRazaq reinvented government in four years | TheCable
In 2019, Kwarans turned to AbdulRahman AbdulRazaq to lead the state through the worst socio-economic crisis since its inception. He promised to make government work for all, share the dividends of democracy with the remotest of communities, and make resources work for the public good.
For a state sliding down the tables on critical socio-economic indices such as poverty index, unemployment, and comatose local enterprise, a well-rounded policy had to be introduced to arrest the consequences of a failing economy and social system. KWASSIP has about 200,000 beneficiaries and different components including ‘Owo Arugbo’, ‘Owo Isowo,’ ‘Digital Kwara,’ ‘Kwapreneur,’ and ‘Kwasupport.’
The kernel of the issue was teachers’ utility and attendance, pedagogical practices displayed by teachers, and the amount of instructional support that they received. With the distribution of 1,184,915 textbooks and teaching aids, it is expected to enhance the reading levels in all subjects. It is good news that there have been good postings on all the key performance indicators of the programme, including teachers’ motivation, teachers’ and students’ attendance, time on task, and outcome of learning. But it is even better news that Kwara is tipped to be one of the top five sub-nationals in education in the country in the near future.
The four previous agencies also come under the leadership of the executive chairman, Kwara State Geographic Information Service . Coming barely two years after its establishment, this feat was made possible due to reforms introduced to achieve the vision of modern land administration in line with international best practices which has helped in stabilising the service.
To build on the achievements, critical changes needed to be made to open up sports development in Kwara state in line with emerging realities. It is now leading ongoing efforts to give infrastructural facelifts to several sporting facilities in the state by fostering key partnerships with private bodies and philanthropists. The fruits of this include the regrassing of the Kwara state stadium main bowl with the support of A.U Mustapha SAN, and the remodeling of the stadium complex entrances courtesy of Rotamedics Pharmacy.
The implementation of Kwara Health Insurance Agency is officially credited to the administration of Governor AbdulRahman AbdulRazaq who got it funded and running. What is impressive is the partnership with private bodies, philanthropists, and community development associations to widen the net of beneficiaries, making healthcare accessible to the average citizen.
