Rt. Hon. Yakubu Danladi Salihu, on Saturday conducted onsite assessment of the level of work done at the kwara state University (KWASU) college of Agriculture, selected basic schools and access roads, as part of his first constituency tour since assumption of office.
During his inspection of the KWASU campus at Ilesha Baruba, the Hon. Speaker quizzed the site engineer, Olayinka Mudashir, who claimed to be from Offa. The site engineer who claimed ignorance of the contract amount and the level of contract sum received by Unico, the construction company so far, said the campus consist of 22 girls hostel rooms, a block of 20 staff offices and just one lecture theater.
The site engineer of Unico also said work has been suspended on the construction site and when asked when work would resume, he said he doesn’t know.
Hon. Danladi lamented the quality of work done on the site. He said “how will a University college of Agriculture have just a lecture theater and just 20 female hostel rooms. When under Agriculture alone, we have various disciplines; crop production, animal husbandry, agricultural extension, fishery among others. What happens to the male student and do you expect just 20 female student?”, the speaker asked.
He thereafter proceeded to Boriya, where he inspected some basic education facilitate which are all in deplorable states.
The Hon. Speaker promised to work with the executive arm of government to fix these rots in the nearest possible time, adding that the contractor, Unico would soon be invited and quizzed by the appropriate committee of the House.
He was accompanied by the Chairman, House Committee on Education, Hon. Mohammed Baba Saliu and Chairman, House Committee on works and transport, Hon. Ganiyu Gabriel.
