Report by Adebayo Abubakar
Residents of Àṣeyọrí Community, in Alagbado area, of Ilorin South Local Government Area of Kwara State have called on the Kwara State Governor, Mallam Abdulrahman Abdulrazaq, to come to their rescue, in the provision of social amenities.
Making the call on behalf of the residents today, in an exclusive interview with Sobi FM’s Adebayo Abubakar, was the Chairman of Àṣeyọrí-Alagbado Community Development Association, Mallam Aliyu Oluwanishola, who lamented the lack of road, electricity, water, primary healthcare facility, Primary and secondary schools, as well as a Police Post, to cater for the security needs of the residents.
He also stated that the only form of government presence in the area is constant visits by, men of the Kwara State Internal Revenue Service, KWIRS, and Town Planning, who come around regularly, only for tax and levies collections.
Olúwanishola regrets that a number of investors who have come to set up businesses in the area, always turn back, after discovering that there is no motorable road and electricity, even though there are poles erected, without wire or Transformer, after they have written to the State Ministry of Energy, without any positive response to date.
The Chairman, therefore, made a passionate plea to Governor Abdulrahman Abdulrazaq, to help the people of the area, by providing roads, electricity, clinics, pipe-borne water, schools, and other social amenities, just as he has been doing, across the State, to complement the communal efforts of the residents of Àṣeyọrí.
Àṣeyọrí Alagbado is one of the new and fast developing sub-urban communities in Ilorin South Local Government, which many “lower and middle class” residents of the State capital find very habitable, and moving in, in their number.
