Speaker Kolawole also acknowledged the giant efforts of Governor Yahaya Bello who mounted immense pressure on the relevant authority that has manifested in the award of the projects, calling on Minister Fashola not to lose sight of the Kabba – Egbe – Ilorin road, Kabba – Ipele – Lagos road which has long been abandoned by successive administrations.
The Speaker also appreciated the efforts of the Honourable Minister of State FCT, Hajia Ramatu Tijjani Aliyu who is representing Kogi State at the Federal Executive Council where decision in favour of the project was taken, pointing out that her presence in the Council is a plus for the state.
He charged the people to continue to cooperate and support the current APC administrations at all levels to attract more tangible projects to the state and constituency.
