Roads
Kwara State Road Maintenance Agency (KWARMA) has begun massive
rehabilitation of 10 roads across Ilorin, the state capital,
including the long-neglected Offa Garage Roundabout Road.
This followed the release of N20m by Governor AbdulRahman

state and needed urgent fixing in the capital city.
Engineer Usman Baba Jibril, general manager of KWARMA, said it
has already started massive rehabilitation works on the Offa Garage
and Geri Alimi-Asa Dam roads.
He said the agency has the mandate to quickly fix the roads to
end the nightmares of the people.
“We have started work immediately
based on the fund the Governor has just released to KWARMA and
Kwara State Asphalt Plant,” Jibril said.
He listed other roads to be covered “under Phase 1” to include
Isale Aluko-Kokorokan-Ita Kudimoh Road; Adeta-Al-Hikmah road;
Olorunshogo-Geri Alimi road; Kaduna Road, Adewole; Osere-Cemetry
road; General Hospital- Geri Alimi; Offa Garage Geri Alimi Road;
and Sani Okin Road.

within the next seven days, with the phase two of the works likely
to begin very soon.

rehabilitation of roads within the metropolis and other parts of
the state in phases
He lamented the poor state of the roads across the state, adding
that the government would collaborae with the Federal Government
and private sectors on some of the roads, especially federal
roads.
