Speaker of the Kogi State House of Assembly, Rt. Hon. Aliyu Umar, has described the first anniversary of Governor Ahmed Ododo as eventful and rewarding, saying the people of the state were happy with his inclusive and purposeful leadership.
In his assessment of the administration’s performance, the speaker noted that it had become obvious that Governor Ododo is truly the chief servant of the state.
According to him, Ododo has been a dedicated servant since the immediate past administration where he served as the auditor-general for local governments.
“He gave his service and didn’t take credit. Even as the governor, he doesn’t always want to take credit for many things he does even though it is clear that he is a man with the milk of human kindness running through his veins and doing wonders for Kogi people.
“He has made true consolidation his cardinal objective, as you can see from the way he did not allow a vacuum in any sector. Infrastructure development, upgrade of the state security architecture, improved welfare for civil servants, innovative ideas in the state economic development, improved inter-governmental relationship, widening of the State’s tax net and others have been his objectives, and he is actively working to ensure they are realized,” he said.
