The Kogi State Government has expressed heartfelt appreciation to President Bola Ahmed Tinubu for appointing several illustrious sons and daughters of the state into key positions at the federal level, describing the gesture as a testament to the President’s commitment to inclusive governance and national development.
In a statement signed by the State Commissioner for Information and Communications, Hon. Kingsley Fanwo, the state’s Chief Servant, His Excellency Alhaji Ahmed Usman Ododo, extended gratitude to the President for what he called a “demonstration of confidence in the capacity, competence, and character” of Kogi’s indigenes.
“These appointments are a reflection of Mr. President’s unwavering belief in the diversity of our nation and the value that each state brings to the table,” the statement read. “We are proud that Kogi indigenes have once again been found worthy to serve the nation at the highest levels.”
The government described the appointments as a clarion call to the new appointees to be worthy ambassadors of Kogi State, urging them to bring to bear the excellence and integrity that define the state’s identity.
“Your elevation is not just an honour but a responsibility to deliver results, to uphold the ideals of service, and to reflect the values we hold dear in Kogi State,” the government charged the new appointees.
Fanwo noted that Kogi State remains committed to partnering with the Federal Government to ensure sustained progress and development, both within the state and across the nation.
“We remain resolute in our support for Mr. President and will continue to work hand-in-hand with his administration in building a Nigeria that works for all,” the statement added.
The Kogi State Government sent a message of congratulations to the appointees, charging them to be good Ambassadors of the Confluence State.
The Government and the good people of Kogi State have received with deep sorrow the news of the passing of former President Muhammadu Buhari, GCFR.
The statement reads: “This is a monumental loss not only to Nigeria, but to the African continent, and indeed the world.
President Buhari was a leader of quiet strength, deep convictions, and a patriotic heart wholly committed to the unity, progress, and stability of Nigeria.
Speaking on the passing of the former President, the Governor of Kogi State, His Excellency Alhaji Ahmed Usman Ododo, described the news as “a moment of national grief and a reminder of the enduring legacy of discipline, integrity and sacrifice that President Buhari stood for.”
According to the Governor, “President Buhari was a man who came at different times in our national history to steer the ship of state with a deep sense of responsibility.
He was not a man of many words, but one whose actions consistently reflected his belief in a better, safer, and more self-reliant Nigeria.”
Kogi State will remember him for his commitment to critical infrastructure, national security, and his consistent stand against corruption.
His efforts laid a solid foundation upon which successive administrations, including ours in Kogi, continue to build.
We stand in solidarity with the Government and people of Katsina State, the family of the late statesman, and indeed all Nigerians, as we mourn a patriot who gave his all in service to the nation.
May Allah (SWT) forgive his shortcomings and grant him Aljannah Firdaus.
