SENATOR representing Kwara South senatorial district of Kwara state, Senator Ibrahim Rafiu, has commissioned an ultra modern secretariat he recently built for Baales and Magajis in the Oyun local government area of the state.

The lawmaker,  who was received by a crowd of his supporters at Ilemona, the headquarters of the local government during the commissioning, also commissioned a motorised borehole with a generating set in the town.

Rafiu, who dedicated the projects to his political leader of the state, Dr Bukola Saraki, said that the projects were implemented based on the request of the local traditional chiefs and his people.

While appreciating the Senator, the traditional chiefs prayed for the success of his re-election bid, saying that the gesture was first of its kind in the area.
