The Kwara State government spent over N11 billion on infrastructure between December 2016 and last year, it was learnt yesterday.

Governor AbdulFatah Ahmed’s media aide, Muideen Akorede, who addressed reporters after the State Executive Council (SEC) meeting on Wednesday, said the money was spent under the special funding window tagged Kwara Infrastructure Development Fund (IF-K).

Akorede said N4.97 billion was spent on existing projects and N6.07 billion on new projects.

He explained that projects captured under Kwara Public and Private Partnership Bureau included the branding and repositioning of Kwara Hotels.



The hotel, he said, would be benchmarked against best practice, saying NOVOTEL and IBIS would handle the project under Accorde Hotel Group.

He said: “The government would retain the ownership of the hotel but will offer Kwarans the opportunity to be part owners through crowd funding arrangement.

“This arrangement will be 100 per cent local content, and is expected to create over 1,500 indirect local jobs for artisans, 500 jobs for professionals and 182 direct jobs after completion.”

Commissioner for Information and Communications Ishiak Sabi said the council also considered experts’ requests on the upward review of the Diamond Split Underpass, Kulende-UITH-Oke-Ose and Ilesha-Baruba-Gwanara road contracts.

According to him, the council, after deliberations, approved the upward review of Split Diamond Underpass from N2,930,847,252.06 billion to N3,639,444,659.04 billion, making a difference of N708,597,407.33 million.

He added that Kunlende/UITH/Oke-Ose road project was reviewed upward from N2,385,217,963.01 billion to N3,47,86,789.16 billion and the Ilesha-Baruba-Gwanara road was increased from N2,156,953,404.88 billion to N2,361,904,549.71 billion.

The upward review, Sabi said, would cater for unforeseen circumstances.
