Kogi Gov Yahaya Bello said his administration is repositioning the state for the future and good of younger generations.
The governor made the pronouncement on Saturday in his state broadcast speech in commemoration of the 31st anniversary of the creation of Kogi.
“Looking at the infrastructural development on ground, we will have to insist that the Yahaya Bello Administration has made impressive efforts to reposition Kogi for the future of our younger generation.
“This effort and our blueprints have the direct effect of enhancing our ability to take advantage of our vast endowments in human and other natural resources for development purposes.
“By making security of lives and property a constant priority, we are in a great position to attract and keep new residents and new investments in our economy to transform the state.
“Over the years, we have demonstrated to criminals that it is foolish and fatal to ply their trade in Kogi even as we will continue to render a service to the rest of the country.
“This we do by keeping the highways between the north and the south of this country open and safe to all citizens,” the governor said.
Bello warned that his administration would not take kindly to persons, no matter how highly placed, who got involved in crimes, either as perpetrators or patrons.
He said that to ensure peaceful coexistence, traditional rulers had been empowered to handle all genuine grievances over community land and other rights.
“We improve our human development indices from basic through to tertiary education levels, founded new schools, including a university (the Confluence University of Science and Technology, renovated existing ones and improved both access to educational opportunities.”
“We are grateful to God Almighty Who made it possible and Who has continued to direct our noble cause.
“Kogi has come a long way from her early beginnings through the combined efforts of past and present Kogi residents, who have been building our hopes and aspirations.
“We appreciate our founding fathers and those persons, leaders, and citizens alike, who have gone before. They are the giants on whose shoulders we stand”, he said.
Bello, however, commended President Muhammadu Buhari’s leadership qualities saying, “posterity will judge that only a leader such as he could have stood up to the herculean tasks of navigating Nigeria through its current existential quagmires.”
The governor felicitated all citizens of Kogi State on the grand 31st anniversary and prayed that with the help of God “we will move from strength to strength as a territory, a people, and as individuals.” CONTINUE READING…………….
