By -

The Kwara State Government has reaffirmed its commitment to the social investment sector, by providing financial supports and empowerment to youths, small and medium scale businesses, the vulnerable and rural dwellers in the state even as it seeks for the cooperation of the people in achieving full potentials of the scheme.

The General Manager Kwara State Social Investment Programme (KWASSIP), Dr Abdulwasiu Olayinka Tejidini affirmed this during the week, at the fourth-quarter Inter-Ministerial Press Briefing, held at the conference room of Kwara State Ministry of Finance, Ilorin, the state capital.

Dr Tejidini described year 2024 as "a year where significant number of cash grants and disbursements were made from the state government to beneficiaries of different categories, ranging from compensation of business owners affected by the road setback enforcement in Ilorin metropolis, financial support to Kwara indigenes affected by the inferno at Dosumu market, Lagos state, down to social protection support program where cash was disbursed to women who are into petty trading (Owo ishowo) as well as vulnerable youths in the state."

The General Manager also made mention of the ongoing "Kwaraprenuer which is expected to issue out financial support to different individuals and businesses, who have pitched their business ideas and have been considered fit for the cash grant any time from now.

“Beneficiaries are drawn from the 16 Local Government Areas of the state, without bias. Kwarans of various ideologies and political affiliations have benefited from this scheme, which is devoid of nepotism. This scheme which is a brainchild of Mallam AbdulRahman AbdulRazaq CON Executive Governor of Kwara State, was put in place majorly to provide Kwarans with leveled playing ground, aimed at lifting vulnerable households and individuals out of poverty. It is significant to note here that, so far in Nigeria, KWASSIP is one of the largest safety net by any state government in Nigeria” Tejidini added.

He then sought for the full support of the people of Kwara State, towards the policies and programs of this administration, which he noted have put necessary things in place, for the betterment of all.

"At this juncture, I therefore urge you all to cooperate with KWASSIP to enable it achieve its set goals and potentiality."


Dr Tejidini thereafter alluded the success story recorded so far in KWASSIP to the intentionality of the Mallam AbdulRahman AbdulRazaq led administration, an absolute genius who has been working assiduously to ensure Kwarans are availed opportunities to better their lives, through timely and effective intervention programs and financial empowerments.
