The Kwara State chapter of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has applauded the Federal Government's decision to select the Kwara State University (KWASU) as one of the six universities nationwide to benefit from its ICT Experience Centre initiative. The party views this initiative as a significant investment in the future of the youth and a major step towards technological advancement in educational institutions in the country.
In a statement signed by its State Publicity Secretary, Olusegun Olusola Adewara, the Kwara PDP lauded the Federal Government's initiative to recognize and invest in KWASU, one of the legacy projects of the Bukola Saraki-led PDP administration in Kwara. The party emphasized that KWASU continues to stand as a testament to the unmatched visionary leadership and developmental strides made during Saraki's tenure.

The statement also highlighted other notable projects initiated during Saraki's administration, such as Shonga Farm Holdings, Harmony Advanced Diagnostic Centre, International Aviation College, the cargo terminal of the Ilorin International Airport, Metropolitan Square, Harmony Holdings, the Post Office Flyover, and the Asa Dam/Offa Garage Bridge. These projects have continued to positively impact the lives of ordinary Kwarans.
The Kwara PDP noted that despite persistent efforts by the Kwara State Government to downplay and diminish the achievements linked to Saraki, these projects remain symbols of modern Kwara, benefiting the people and proving critics wrong.

The statement mentioned that in 2018, the Federal Government, through the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) and the Committee of Governors, invested N2 billion into the poultry syndicate of Shonga Farms Holdings Limited. Unfortunately, the gains of Shonga Farm, which has provided more than 4,500 direct jobs and about 6,000 indirect jobs for Kwara's youth, have been subjected to political attacks, leading to the current collapse of Shonga Farm.

The Kwara PDP expressed concern over the trend of undermining state-owned projects for political reasons, harming the people of Kwara who stand to lose the most from these shortsighted maneuvers.
The party reaffirmed its commitment to advocating for and supporting initiatives that foster educational and technological development in Kwara State. Continued investment in educational institutions is essential for the progress and prosperity of the state and its people, the statement concluded.

Olusegun Olusola Adewara
