The House also wants a former Director General of KP3 under the former governor, Yomi Ogunsola as well as a company, Reccofortezza-A Steven and Rubitec, the contractors responsible for the Light-Up Kwara project, handed over to the EFCC.

The resolutions were passed after the consideration of the report of an Ad-hoc Committee, which investigated the Light-up Kwara project executed by the Ahmed-led administration.

While reading the resolutions, the Speaker of the House, Yakubu Danladi, asked the executive to review the terms and conditions of the contract for the project and direct the contractors to complete all outstanding works, while also tasking the state government to order Ogunsola to return to Nigeria to throw light on the grey areas of the project.
