Agreed! But, why did it take them this long? Why didn't they organise this when he was with APC so that we can chastise him? What's wrong with us as people?

Now they didn't organise any award for that useless Kogi governor now oh, wait make he leave APC u go begin hear Oshio and different awards upandan.


Well, that's the more reason why we all need to vote in better personalities and not parties. I lost fate in APC since I realized that they allowed ppl like Ahmed and Saraki into their camp. This is a clear indication that they have no values. A virus is a virus. This however doesn't change the fact that he and Saraki are failures. They have nothing to offer. They are only there to such the states dry. I won't be surprised is this failure comes again as senator in PDP.

d world is still celebrating d life of Kofi Annan.
When Abdulfattah Ahmed & Senate President Saraki's hegemony in Kwara state are gone, what will they say of them?. How will they tell their story?.
Will Nigerians remember them as d leaders who helped to wipe out poverty in Kwara state?.
Will Kwarans remember them 4 building homes & roads & hospitals & wiping out hunger?.
Will SGBN depositors who trusted Saraki wit their funds see him as d man who made life easier 4 them or as d man who compounded their economic woes?.
When they talk of d Panama papers & they ar asked "did Bukola Saraki live a good life?", what will d answer be?.
When they ask did Saraki's hegemony bring about development or did it chain Kwara state to d ground turning it into a glorified IDP poverty camp, what will d answer be?

Re: Group Award Kwara Governor As Worst In History by Nobody: 12:32pm On Aug 19, 2018
From my brief experience of Kwara state, it is in a very bad state. The education and health sectors are nothing to write home about. Aside from Ilorin and Offa which can be called "urban" areas, almost every other area in Kwara is close to being a village. I don't even know if it should be called a state because some towns are very much better than it is.
Kwara NYSC orientation camp, Yikpata is one of the worst if not the worst in Nigeria. Can't even imagine one worse than it is.

Group award Kwara governor as worst in history
https://mrrightsng..com/2018/08/group-award-kwara-governor-as-worse-in.html

Kwara Must Change, a pro-Democracy group is using this opportunity to notify the general public that our movement shall be conferring an award of the worst governor in the history of Nigeria on his Excellency, Alhaji Abdulfatai Ahmed, the Executive Governor of Kwara State.

Kwara Must Change believe very strongly that only the people can truly rate the performance of an administration and without any iota of doubt, all Kwarans, including those serving in government are anonymous in their conclusion of the devastating failure of Abdulfatai Ahmed led government of Kwara State.

Apart from the absolute lack of leadership by the governor and his dummy like followership of a misguided godfather, evidences of misappropriation, endemic corruption, infrastructural degradation, educational decimation, poverty domestication, political irresponsibility, rascality of the highest order plus other shameful conducts of the governor are too numerous to mention.

We believe that such mind blowing failure needed to be symbolically recognized for the purpose of history, hence the need to confer on the governor, the award of worst Governor not only in the history of Kwara State, but also in the history of Nigeria.

Though, we are aware that Governor Ahmed’s suitability for the award of worst governor in the history of Nigeria is arguable, but most certainly, no one can debate about his undisputable qualification for the award of worst governor In the history of Kwara State.

In term of quality Education, It was under Governor Ahmed that Kwara Must Change discovered several schools across all senatorial district having only one staff, who doubles as head master, cleaner, teacher for all classes from primary 1-6 and teaching all subjects including English and Mathematics.

In term of Grassroot development, It was under Governor Ahmed that Kwara Must Change discovered that some Kwarans in Baruten Local Government are already claiming Benin Republic, not because they wanted to secede to another country, but because they have been totally abandoned in such a manner that they wonder if they are still a part of the state, because there is no road linking them to the rest of the state and they even go to Benin Republic for basic things such as medication because there is no hospital in the whole environment. In this same local government, there has never been electricity for the past 20years. The only time they came close to having electricity was between 1999-2003, when late Governor Alabi Lawal provided all necessary equipment, but upon assumption of office by his successor, all the project was shutdown.

In term of water supply, Under Governor Ahmed’s predecessor, Bukola Saraki, an almost completed water project by late Governor Lawal was halted and another water project was said to have been awarded for N4billion. After 8 years of Saraki administration without any drop of water, Governor Ahmed took over and also continued the imaginary water project, by re-awarding it for another N5billion in his first tenure. Till this day, after a combined N9billion wasted on a so called water project, the Governor is rounding up 8years tenure without any drop of water. The whole state, including the state capital cannot boost of having potable water.

In term of accessible motorable road across the state, Kwara Must Change had also toured the state and found no single state road that is motorable, except the road to the Government house. We had in the past challenged the state government to mention just one state road that is motorable, but even they could not. As it stands today, there is no one single road in Kwara state without pothole.

In term of Workers welfarism, it is no longer news that Kwara state pay the lowest salary in Nigeria, but to make matter worst, even the least salary is not being paid, including non-payment of sweepers salaries who earn maximum of N7000 per month. Just few weeks ago, the dignified sweepers marched in protest to call for public help in getting their 2 years salaries, state owned institution workers also protested last week due to none payment of over a year salary.

These are just the few examples we can cite due to space, but there are many more.

It is in recognition of the monumental failure of Governor Ahmed, that Kwara Must Change deemed it fit to honor the governor, with an award of the worst governor in the history and we hope to ensure this award is properly recorded in history as example to all bad leaders.

Details of the award program shall be made public very soon.

Abdulrazaq O Hamzat
Kwara Must Change


Housing

Kwara State with a population of 3.5 million (2006 National Census), has about 486,000 households and a housing deficit of 584, 000 units.

As part of his bold measures to close the supply gap for housing in the state, Alhaji Abdulfatah Ahmed in March 2016, flagged off the construction of 1,000 housing units at Budo-Osho Area, Tanke Ilorin, a pilot scheme under his strategic housing deficit intervention.

The 1,000 housing units designed to provide quality and affordable shelters for low and middle class workers, will be a 700 three-bedroom flats and 300 two-bedroom flats.

Also in March, Governor Ahmed performed the ground-breaking foundation laying ceremony for the construction of an ultramodern shopping and office complex, named The Hub.

Agriculture

Governor Ahmed flagged off the Kwara Agricultural Modernization Master Plan (KAMP 2012-2017), designed in partnership with Cornell University, New York, University of Ilorin and Kwara State University to create agro-driven economic diversification and establish Kwara State as the sub-region’s economic hub.

One of KAMP’s main strategies was development of the agriculture value chain development in rice, soya, cassava and rice.

Under its Off-taker Demand-Driven Agricultural Activities (ODDA), the Ahmed administration disbursed N214 million to 172 lead farmers for improved mechanised farming across the state.


Education

As part of contributions to the development of the education sector, Governor Abdulfatah Ahmed constructed and rehabilitated 400 block of classrooms at primary and secondary school levels. His administration introduced free tuition and notebooks at senior secondary school level. To expand access to tertiary education in the state, Dr. Ahmed also approved the reduction in the tuition fees for Kwara State University (KWASU) students by 30 per cent.

Dr. Abdulfatah Ahmed also commenced the construction of an N800m Engineering complex for the Kwara State University, which is now near completion.

Governor Ahmed also approved the construction of the International Vocational Technical and Entrepreneurship Centre, located in Ajase-Ipo, in Irepodun Local government area of Kwara State.

The innovative centre which is in partnership with City and Guilds, London, is aimed at creating a generation of highly employable artisans and prosperous youth entrepreneurs through the provision of market relevant skills under its Shared Prosperity Programme.


Energy

Governor Ahmed completed several projects in the power sector across the state in a bid to improve power supply. Some of these include, Iponrin, Sekun-Owode and Bokungi-Jambufu Electrification Projects in 2011.

Governor Ahmed’s rural and urban electrification project has seen 400 communities connected to the national grid, with 136 transformers installed to serve 189 communities.

Health

From the inception of the present administration, a tremendous transformation has been recorded in the Health Sector in Kwara State under the able Leadership of Governor Ahmed. One of the major thrusts of his administration is the provision of quality and affordable health care for the people within 500M radius, an intention he has pursued with tenacity.

The Community Health Insurance

Scheme (CHIS), under which enrolees receive all-year round healthcare for a paltry sum of N500, has been extended to 110, 000 beneficiaries and adjudged as one of the most successful by the United Nations (UN). The programme is targeted to reach one million rural dwellers before the end of 2018.

In the same vein, medical equipment was distributed to all Government Hospitals as well as MDG equipment to 13 General Hospitals and 43 primary health care centers across the state.

In 2014, five General Hospitals in Share, Ilorin, Omu-Aran, Offa and Kaiama, were renovated and equipped with state-of-the-art-facilities.


Empowerment/SME Scheme


Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) are critical to the economic development of any country as they have the potential to create employment opportunities, generate revenues, improve local technology and ensure forward integration with large-scale industries to ensure sustainable socio-economic development and prosperity.

Also in 2012, Governor Ahmed launched the Kwara Micro Credit Intervention Scheme to encourage and assist small and medium scale enterprises in the State.

An initial sum of N250 million was approved by Governor Ahmed to kick start the scheme but has grown to about N1.597 billion with a total of about 1,848 cooperative societies and 50, 000 small businesses benefiting.

Additionally, 53 associations under the aegis of Artisan Congress of Kwara State have benefited from the scheme, and about 150 taxis, 25 buses and 193 motorcycles has been given out to beneficiaries across the state.

The Ahmed-led administration garnered immense acclaim for its strong determination to ensure even development in all sector.

From roads, water, to agriculture, health, housing and education, the present administration has recorded giant strides in Kwara state.

Grassroot Development

The government of Dr. Abdulfatah Ahmed has also recorded giant strides in grassroots infrastructure development with the recent approval of N850m for the implementation of critical grassroots projects in 192 wards across the State.

The initiative which is a collaboration with the World Bank, will focus projects on roads, education, health, energy and water supply, and will be purely community-driven.


Water


Water supply has improved significantly in the state since the inception of the Alhaji Ahmed-led administration with significant reduction in accessibility gap.

For instance, at the Asa Dam water works, Ilorin, production increased from 4mgpd to 25.5mgpd, and has been sustained since its expansion.

In the face of increasing population particularly in Ilorin, the State Capital, the government has adopted a phase-by-phase approach to rehabilitate its existing 94 waterworks.

Within the space of five years, hundreds of motorised and hand pump boreholes have been drilled, and distributed across the three senatorial districts to achieve equitable spread.

Also, the on-going Ilorin Reticulation Project is expected to be completed this year
