Governor Abdulrahman Abdulrazaq Wednesday inaugurated the Osi Campus of the University of Kwara.
The governor said the commissioning was in fulfilling his promise that Kwara will not be a mortuary of abandoned projects under his watch.
“This is more than just a project commissioning. The completion of the Osi and Ilesha Baruba campuses bears testament to my pledge that Kwara will not be a mortuary of abandoned project. With this, we have again sent the signal that what matters to our administration is the progress of our state, not the political history of any project.
“This is a lesson in history and we hope it resonates across our state and among our people. In June 2021, I commissioned the Kwara Polytechnic main auditorium, which we funded to completion, more than 20 years after its foundation was laid by the late Governor Mohammed Lawal. This is who we are,” he said.
KWASU’s vice chancellor, Professor Sheikh Jamiu Luqman, said the new Osi campus will add immense value to the institution by fostering innovation, research, and learning in a conducive environment designed for excellence.
“Your Excellency’s commitment to education has been truly remarkable. This project and the Ilesha Baruba campus are evidence of your dedication to the advancement of higher education in our state,” he said.
