Kwara state Governor AbdulRahman AbdulRazaq late Monday assented to an Executive Order 001 to ease off many bottlenecks that make doing business cumbersome in the state.
Signed at a dinner for captains of industry and members of the business community in Ilorin, the executive order represents a milestone in the government’s efforts to bolster Kwara’s credentials in the Ease of Doing Business ranking.
The order takes effect from March 31, 2022, a three-month moratorium for the bureaucracies to have enough window to firm up their processes.
The objective is to ease the business climate and attract more investments to the state, the Governor explained, saying he wants the state to be in the top five in the next few years.
A provision of the order requires all MDAs to have service level agreements that clearly explain their processes and state the binding time lines for service delivery to the customers.
The event was well-attended by government officials and creme de la creme from the business community such as House of Assembly Speaker Rt. Hon. Yakubu Danladi-Salihu; Special Adviser to the President on Ease of Doing Business Dr. Jumoke Oduwoye; Head of Service Mrs. Susan Modupe Oluwole; cabinet members; Chairperson KWIRS Mrs. Folashade Omoniyi; Group Managing Director of Harmony Holdings Limited Abdullahi AbdulMajeed; Ag. Chairman, KWGIS Abdulmutalib Shittu; former House of Representatives member Hon. Moshood Mustapha; Chairman Mount Olive Nig. Ltd and Olusin of Ijara Isin Oba Ademola Ajibola; Chairman Padson Industry Hezekiah Oladipo Adediji; and KWACCIMA President Olalekan Fatai; among several successful business owners in the state.
