The Kwara State Government wishes to reaffirm that its share of the Paris-London Club refund from the Federal Government was fully utilized for infrastructure projects, MSME support and infrastructure projects as well as payment of  salaries and pensions at state and local government levels.

The public is therefore advised to disregard spurious and completely unsubstantiated claims made by a guest on a national television program on Thursday or similar assertions on any other platform to the effect that part of the state’s share of the refund was paid to a former governor of the state and current Senate President, Dr. Bukola Saraki or to any other party.

It is not the state government’s practice to make payments to individuals or organizations without appropriation.
