Residents of Ilorin, the Kwara State capital, yesterday embarked on a peaceful protest over the alleged stalled renovation of the N200 million federal government healthcare project facilitated by the Senator representing Kwara Central senatorial district at the National Assembly, Senator Saliu Mustapha.
The protesters, who were mainly from various communities across Ilorin East Local Government Area, converged on the Awodi Primary Healthcare Centre, the proposed site of the project, before marching through major roads to express their concerns on the issue.
The protest, it was gathered, might not be unconnected to the recent comment of the Chairman of Ilorin East Local Government Area, Mr. AbdulWasiu Agbelere, on the stoppage of the renovation work on the healthcare facility, a federal government project facilitated by Senator Mustapha.
