THE Kwara Government said on Tuesday in Ilorin that it had cut its running cost by 50 per cent because of the drop in federal allocation to the state.

The Senior Special Assistant to the Governor on Media and Communications, Dr Muyideen Akorede, told newsmen that the measure was to reduce cost of governance.
“Approximately, N400 million is now being used to run the government as against the previous N800 million.

“Since the federal allocation to the state dropped drastically, government has been working hard to pool resources for other developmental projects,” he said.

He said that the administration of Gov. Abdulfatah Ahmed would continue to initiate people- oriented projects that would have direct impact on citizens.

Akorede also said the submission of the BVN by civil servants had lapsed on Friday, adding that those who failed to heed the directive would be regarded as ghost workers.

Nice One. Have they also Slashed the Pension and godfather allocation to their APC Senate president Saraki?

Good one, other state too should follow suit imaging an belly full governor will state and say, i will downsize workers or reduce their salaries why politicians will be collecting more than required

They're cutting cost so that they'll have more money to pay their governor emeritus, cursed state.

Kwara doth protest too much these days,

Every event they now issue press statement!! Did they inform Nigerians when they were paying Saraki salary for years after his term?

Please when is Saraki refunding his loot from the State
