Achievements 

As the bedrock of government business and activities, finance and planning has, since the inception of Governor Bukola Saraki administration in 2003 radiated a new vigor, fresh impetus such that it has not only helped the administration to deliver on its promises but has also engendered known vistas of good governance.

Though inherited a lean purse, government under the present administration has been able to overcome the state’s age long limitation by activating its latent and untapped potentials, broaden its financial base and increased its revenue drive thereby taking Kwara State out of the league of the civil-service states that precariously depend on allocation from the Federal Government.

Through a Spartan culture of precedence, genuine adherence to due process and aggressive revenue generation, the lots of the state has been tremendously improved. This has helped the government to meet its many obligations.

These salutary efforts of government in this and other respects have increased the volume of investments turnover both in stocks and capital market transactions for public and private investors. The results are evident on the number of developmental programmes, which have also positively robbed on the lives of the citizenry.

All these have combined to increase the general value and rating of the State, locally and internationally. This is what has earned Kwara State, newly, a high-profile credit rating by the influential International Rating Agency, “Fitch”. With the rating, Kwara, out of the 36 States of the federation, is scored with a local and foreign currency rating of B+ and national Long-Term Rating of AA-.

The implication of this is that Kwara is scored and confirmed globally as one of those states in Nigeria capable of rising up to their economic challenges.
