The Kwara State Government has urged the people of the state to key into community development for the overall benefit of the society.
The Deputy Governor, Mr Kayode Alabi, stated this at the closing ceremony of the National Community Development held at 1st ECWA Church, Ilorin.
Mr Alabi said the annual campaign is designed to give local as well as national attention to accomplishments made possible by the Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) programme and HOME Investment Partnership (HOME) programme.
The Deputy Governor, who said the present administration, under the leadership of Governor AbdulRaman AbdulRazaq, is doing its best in terms of Community Development across the three Senatorial Districts, stressed the need for all and sundry to be part of this great move, saying government alone cannot do everything.
Earlier, Mr Kayode Oyin Zubair, Senior Special Assistant to the Governor on Community Development Intervention, had explained that the National Community Development week would be the first of its kind in Kwara State and encouraged the public to join the effort. This, he said, would discourage rural-urban migration. The SSA appreciated the Governor for his quick responses to community issues.
In his sermon, Pastor Jolayemi warned the people against the emergency and quick harvest they have not worked for, adding that seedtime is a time of labour and planting that no one should miss if they want to have something to harvest.
