on Monday launched 100 tricycles to ease transportation challenges, stimulate macroeconomic activities and reduce poverty in the state.
The government also officially enrolled members of the Tricycle Owners Association of Nigeria in the informal package of the state’s health insurance scheme, a step the association hailed as beneficial while also commending Mr AbdulRazaq for granting them official recognition. “Today, we are launching 100 tricycles which our government guaranteed for members of TOAN. This is done through a partnership with SEAP Microfinance Institute, SIMBA/TVS, and TOAN. I commend all of you for this hugely beneficial partnership,” Mr AbdulRazaq said at the event held at Government House, Ilorin.
“A major fruit of this partnership is the enrolment of TOAN members in the Kwara State health insurance. The health and economic benefits of this insurance cannot be overemphasised. “Our profound appreciation particularly goes to SIMBA/TVS for the 12 month warranty on the tricycles and offer of free service for the same period. I also commend the firm for its decision to locate your Service, Sales, and Spares Centre in Offa in Kwara State. The attendant economic benefits of this step will be huge, and we promise to support you every step of the way.”
