The political group targed TheBMA4AA under the aegis of Beki Mashood Abdulquadri has salute the leadership of Gov. AbdulRahaman Abdulrazaq. The group credit him on his prompt and decisive actions in response to the aftermath effect of the fuel subsidy Removal, in a statement signed by the Convener, Beki Mashood Abdulquadri:
“We, the members of TheBMA4AA, extend our commendations to His Excellency Governor AbdulRahman AbdulRazaq for his prompt and decisive actions in response to the aftermath effect of the fuel subsidy removal. As a group that worked tirelessly for the reelection bid of the governor and is committed to promoting his exemplary work, we are proud to see him take the lead by example as the Chairman of the Nigeria Governors’ Forum.
Gov. AbdulRahman AbdulRazaq’s recent approval of palliatives to cushion the effects of the subsidy removal reflects his empathetic and visionary leadership. The cash support of N10,000 for every public sector worker in Kwara State is a testament to his commitment to easing the economic shocks faced by workers during this transitional period until a new minimum wage is introduced.
Furthermore, the governor’s approval of new hazard and skipping allowances, and 100% CONMESS for medical consultants and doctors, along with a new regime of allowances for nurses, showcases his dedication to enhancing the healthcare sector and improving the well-being of the people of Kwara State. These measures are aimed at reducing attrition rates and attracting skilled professionals to provide qualitative healthcare services.
We also commend the governor’s initiative to activate modalities for occasional food distribution to vulnerable households. This nonpartisan approach, coordinated by respected stakeholders with inputs from traditional rulers, religious bodies, market leaders, trade unionists, and community-based organizations, will ensure that the benefits reach those who need them the most.
The governor’s commitment to supporting petty traders and MSMEs through the Kwara State Social Investment Programme (KWASSIP) with N500m worth of conditional support demonstrates his dedication to empowering businesses and fostering economic growth in the state.
In addition, the extension of free bus rides for students of tertiary institutions and the implementation of a staggered work schedule for civil servants are thoughtful measures aimed at reducing transportation expenses and providing relief to the people during this challenging time.
Gov. Abdulrahman AbdulRazaq’s proactive stance in setting up a committee to address the issue of arbitrary food prices is commendable. By tackling extortionist tendencies in the market, the governor aims to alleviate the hardships faced by the people due to inflationary pressures.
TheBMA4AA and the good people of Kwara State wholeheartedly reelected Gov. AbdulRahman AbdulRazaq because of his visionary leadership and proactive approach to governance. The popular nickname, _”Ijoba Mekunu,”_ truly suits his government as he has consistently demonstrated his concern for the welfare of the people of Kwara State.
As we celebrate the governor’s well-thought-of actions, we express our unwavering support for his commitment to sustainable economic reforms and the well-being of the Kwarans and Nigerians by extension. We are confident that under his capable leadership, Kwara State will continue to flourish and prosper.”
