By Lawal Merit Ifeoma

In a speech at the Action Aid’s Local Rights Program (LRP) learning close-out meeting in Ilorin, Kwara State, Governor AbdulRahman AbdulRazaq called on Civil Society Organizations (CSOs) and Community Base Organizations (CBOs) to work as allies or partners with the Kwara State Government to achieve the same goal with the best result attainable.

The Governor said that the government does not have all the resources to solve all challenges of the State at the same time, and that partnering with CSOs and CBOs would help to pool resources and expertise to achieve more.

He commended all the CSOs and CBOs that continue to work with the government and communities on issues bodering on development and mutual benefits.

The Governor also applauded Actionaid’s Local Rights Programme (LRP) for their interventions across 18 communities in Kwara State, especially in Asa, Irepodun, and Kaiama local government areas.
