Per a statement by his spokesperson, Rafiu Ajakaye, the projects include the Afon General Hospital, Afon Waterworks, a primary health centre (PHC), and the Eiyenkorin Afon Offa Odo Otin Road.

Speaking at the residence of the traditional ruler of Afon, Hanafi Balogun, Mr AbdulRazaq said the government would continue to strengthen existing infrastructure and build new ones for the people’s good.

He said his visit was to see ongoing works in Afon and other parts of the local government area.

“We are glad to be back here in Afon. We are not here to celebrate our achievements, but to seek to know what the (new) challenges are and how we can surmount them and improve on what we have done,” the governor said.

“As you can see, work is going on at Afon General Hospital. We are also visiting the Waterworks. And we have seen several infrastructure projects going on in Afon. We will continue to do more.”

The governor’s tour coincided with the visit of members of the State Drug Control Committee, led by Barakat Olarewaju. The committee is on a statewide campaign to check the prevalence of drug abuse in the state.
