Kwara State Governor, ABDULRAHMAN ABDULRAZAQ, has announced plans by the state government to abolish the payment of pension packages to former governors and former deputy governors in the state.

This was disclosed in a statement issued by the Chief Press Secretary to the Governor, RAFIU AJAKAYE in Ilorin, the state capital.

According to the statement, the governor would send a bill to the State House of Assembly, requesting the lawmakers to immediately repeal the law awarding pension packages to former governors and deputies in Kwara.
