Earlier, the Permanent Secretary, Kwara State Ministry of Information and Communications, Alhaji Ganiyu Mustapha took the Governor round the premises and without mincing words explained the deplorable conditions of the Agency to the Governor.
Mustapha told the Governor that the agency needs operational vehicles to enhance their revenue generating performance to the state.
According to him, the operational vehicle that the Agency is presently using cannot take them round Ilorin metropolises let alone other local government areas. He said this has greatly hampered the smooth running of the agency for optimal performance.
The Governor was also conducted round various offices in the Information Division unit of the state Ministry of Information during the visit.
