Yesterday, I presented KWARA PEOPLE FIRST β The SBK Manifesto. A covenant with the people of Kwara State. A commitment to build a state that is Secure, Productive and Prosperous.
At the heart of this covenant is a simple belief: government must work for the people. It must protect lives and livelihoods, restore essential services, create opportunities and manage public resources responsibly.
Our vision rests on three interconnected pillars: Security and Infrastructure, Human Capital Development, and Economic Diversification and Empowerment. These pillars are expressed through nine promises and 18 flagship programmes designed to address the real needs and aspirations of our people.
From safer communities, better roads, reliable electricity and access to clean water, to quality education, accessible healthcare, youth employment, womenβs empowerment and agricultural prosperity, our priorities are clear.
We have outlined practical commitments, including a β¦100 billion Security Trust Fund, β¦50 million for each of our 193 wards within the first 100 days, 200,000 annual youth employment opportunities, a β¦19.2 billion Agricultural Production Fund, dedicated financing for traders and MSMEs, and improved welfare for civil servants, pensioners, teachers and healthcare workers.
But a manifesto must be more than a collection of promises. It must provide direction, establish priorities and create a basis for accountability. That is why our governing standard is clear:
Listen. Respond. Partner. Plan. Deliver. Verify. Account.
I invite the people of Kwara to read this manifesto, examine its proposals, ask questions and hold us accountable to the commitments we have made.
This is not just about the government we seek to form. It is about the future we must build together.
This is our Kwara. It belongs to all of us. And together, we will transform it.
KWARA PEOPLE FIRST.
SECURE. PRODUCTIVE. PROSPEROUS. #SBK2027 #kawufawenu2027 #Kwara4SBK
For a state like Kwara that has been ravaged by insecurity, an administration that is committed to spending this much deserves more than our support. Engr Suleiman Bolakale Kawu is on the path to getting it right...
