We are focusing on human capital development to propel sustainable development in line with global goals-SDG.
Ilorin, Kwara State– The Senior Special Assistant to Kwara State Governor on Community Development, Dr Lawal Olohungbebe, unveiled a comprehensive 24 Action Plan for grassroots development in the state.
Dr Olohungbebe, who is also the Coordinator of Community Engagement in the Office of the Kwara State Governor, disclosed this on Tuesday while speaking with the Association of Kwara Online Media Practitioners (ASKOMP) in Ilorin, the state capital.
He noted that the action plan is specifically designed to deliver the benefits of democracy to rural areas throughout the 16 local government areas in Kwara State.
Dr Olohungbebe explained that Governor AbdulRahman AbdulRazaq-led administration has distributed solar-powered streetlights in some communities to tackle security concerns and foster economic activity during nighttime hours.
“Community engagement has gone beyond the distribution of items and handouts in this era. We are focusing on human capital development to propel sustainable development in line with global goals-SDG.
On Community Engagement, Olohungbebe said his office has trained community development officers in the three Senatorial districts on vision of Governor Abdulrazaq, latest trends and strategic partnership for rural development.
The SSA noted that participants were issued certificates by the Department of Community Development, Kwara State University Malete.
Speaking on Food Palliative distribution, Olohungbebe said the Committee received 20,000 bags of 10kg rice from the state government with the mandate to reach out to the vulnerable and poorest of the people.
His words: “His Excellency, Governor AbdulRahman AbdulRazaq specifically gave us instructions on target beneficiaries for the food palliative. It’s meant for vulnerable persons to cushion the effects of economic hardship.
“We therefore worked with Community-based organizations, CSOs and other stakeholders in the community to identify people in the category and distribute accordingly,” he added.
