The Kwara State<\/a> Governor, AbdulRahman AbdulRazaq, has commended the efforts of the 22 Brigade of the Nigerian Army located in the state to improve the security of lives and properties in the area.<\/p>\n

The Governor visited the troops who are on
\nthe Still Waters III exercise in Oro Ago town in Ifelodun Local Government Area on Wednesday.<\/p>\n

The Governor also visited the palace of the Oloro of Oro Ago, Oba Johnson Olanrewaju Dada and held a brief meeting with the traditional leader.<\/p>\n

He also expressed satisfaction over the work on Orisa bridge.<\/p>\n

The bridge is expected to replace the colonial passage erected on the Omu- Aran-Oro Ago road since the 1940s, stating that it would end decades of anxieties in the area especially during the raining season.<\/p>\n

\u201cI am truly impressed with the pace of the work. This is Orisa bridge and you can see the old one (colonial bridge). The team lead is Engr Daramola, a pioneer engineer in the State Ministry of Works. I am impressed. It is part of the infrastructural development of the state that we have embarked upon.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe old bridge was built in the 1940s. The new one is a great leap in our infrastructural development. We will continue to dig deep and do more\u201d, he said.<\/p>

The visit is coming two days after AbdulRazaq visited Igbaja and Ora communities earlier to engage with the people and to inspect ongoing projects.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe paid visit to this camp to thank the Nigerian Army. You know internal security is not exactly their work. But they are doing a yeoman\u2019s job to make the country and Kwara safe. We appreciate what they are doing here. We will continue to support their activities,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

The Governor who talked with journalists at the Step Up Headquarters of the 22 Armoured Brigade of the exercise Still Waters III also said,
\n\u201cIt is a camp outside Ilorin to make sure they have boots on the ground and make sure they secure the whole state by not sitting down in the state capital and wait for intelligence. They are out here to deter any criminals from having a base here\u201d.<\/p>\n

Brigade Commander, 22 Armoured Brigade Sobi, Brig. General AbdulRahman Babalola, who conducted the Governor round the base, commended him for his support for the operation, appreciated the governor for his proactiveness.<\/p>\n

\u201cI want to thank His Excellency the governor for his support and proactiveness in everything that concerns security in Kwara State. We have received tremendous support from him,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

\u201cSince we were deployed to this location, the security situation has improved tremendously. Like His Excellency said, we cannot just sit down in Ilorin while other areas have no security presence. We have deployed in Yikpata, Patigi, Kaiama, Kosubosu (and a few others) to ensure that the state of harmony remains harmonious, \u201d Babalola said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
