Read Time:1 Minute, 37 Second
The newly elected 16 local government chairmen in Kwara State have been sworn in by Governor Abdulrahman Abdulrazaq, who has charged them with implementing programs and policies that will bring about positive change in their respective areas.
The chairmen received their certificates of return earlier at the Swara State Independent Electoral Commission Office in Ilorin, and the celebration took place on Monday at the government house’s Banquet Hall.
During the swearing-in, Governor Abdulrazaq advised them to be mindful of the country’s terrible economic situation, charging them with focussing on their mandate in order to satisfy the public.

“Our country is in a transitional phase as our economy undergoes reforms. This has brought some inconveniences for the people. Please be sensitive to the realities of the time. Don’t indulge yourselves while the people struggle to meet basic needs.
“As local government areas and the first layer of government, be creative, explore areas of cooperation, and complement one another for bigger accomplishments.
Importantly, please prove to the people that you truly deserve to occupy this esteemed office. I wish you all the best, ladies and gentlemen,” he said.
The new chairmen were appointed following last Saturday’s local government council election, in which the All Progressive Congress (APC) won all 16 LGAs and 193 wards.
Femi Yusuf, Chairman of the Ifelodun Local Government, said that the chairmen will try to supplement the efforts of the state governor.
“This is a great moment. We have just cemented the foundation laid for the good of Kwara. We are thankful to the Kwarans for their support. The agenda is to develop Kwara and take the state to the next level,” Fagbemi said.
