AbdulRahman AbdulRazaq on Wednesday inspected the ongoing International Conference Centre (IICC) in Ilorin, expressing satisfaction with the pace and quality of work while reaffirming that the landmark facility will be delivered later this year.
The Governor toured the project site alongside his Special Adviser on Special Duties, Alhaji AbdulRazaq Jiddah, and was conducted round the complex by the Construction Manager, Engr. Kola Olowookere.
Addressing journalists after the inspection, AbdulRazaq said he was pleased with the steady progress and high execution standards observed at the site, adding that contractors are on track to meet the delivery timeline.
“I’m here to inspect the project and see the progress being made, and we are happy with the development. They are scheduled to deliver on time this year. So, the International Conference Centre is set to be delivered this year, God willing,” the Governor said.
He added that the administration expects the contractors to maintain the current quality and adhere strictly to approved specifications and schedule.
“Yes, we are happy with the quality of work so far and we hope they will deliver as per specification and right on schedule,” he stated.
The International Conference Centre is one of the flagship projects of the AbdulRazaq administration aimed at repositioning Kwara’s service economy. The facility is designed to drive growth across technology, innovation, conferencing, hospitality, tourism, creativity, and agribusiness sectors.
Government officials say the centre will place Ilorin on the map as a major destination for national and international conferences, exhibitions, and business summits, potentially stimulating economic activities for hotels, transport operators, vendors, and small businesses across the state.
With construction now at an advanced stage, expectations are rising that the IICC will become one of the most significant public infrastructure projects delivered under the current administration before the end of 2026.
