She also revealed that the UK is partnering with several Nigerian states to enhance digital skills development and support young people in the technology sector.
In his response, Governor AbdulRazaq highlighted achievements recorded by his administration since 2019 in sectors such as health, education, agriculture, and infrastructure.
He said his government had made notable progress in rebuilding critical sectors that were previously underperforming.
The governor also stated that his administration had cleared salary arrears inherited from previous governments and fulfilled counterpart funding obligations to the Universal Basic Education Commission.
He added that plans were underway to increase the minimum wage to ₦100,000 within the year.
AbdulRazaq further disclosed that Kwara State University had been expanded with additional campuses in Kwara North and South, with plans to establish five teaching hospitals by 2027.
On agriculture, he said the state had set up a shea processing factory in Kaiama, which is expected to become one of the largest in Nigeria once fully operational.
