Group Commends Kogi  Governor Over Infrastructural Development

A socio-economic group, Kogi East Development Forum (KEDF) has commended Kogi State Governor, Yahaya Bello for huge investment in infrastructural development across the state.
Kogi East Development Forum in a statement signed by its Chairman, Muhammed Nasir on Wednesday said Governor Yahaya Bello has executed about 100 infrastructural projects scattered all over the 21 local government areas of Kogi despite the paucity of fund.
The group added that the governor is given the state face lift through construction of  new roads,  building bridges, installation of street light in Lokoja, renovate State House of Assembly and electrification of many communities.
The Statement read
Governor Yahaya Bello is changing the narrative in Kogi state, especially in area of infrastructural development despite the decrease in monthly allocation to the state from federation account since his assumption of office.
The governor has performed modest well when we compare his achievements with available resources. He has being using about 80 percent of accrued monthly revenue to pay salaries and pensions. It takes financial ingenuity to still record this kind of unprecedented infrastructural development projects in messy situation.
Another unique think about Governor Bello is that every part of Kogi state has benefitted from his administration. The government recently upgraded all 372 primary health centres and supply drugs to ensure Kogites have access to quality healthcare within their community. Additionally, World Diagnostic Centre will further raise the bar in the health sector, attract medical tourists and boost the state economy.
We saw a brighter full in our dear during our fact finding mission to Rice Processing Mill in Ibaji, Yagba local government, the company without doubt will create job opportunities, ensure food security, boost the state economy and increase the internally generated revenue. The governor has increased the IGR from N300million to N1billion monthly and reduced state monthly wage bill through civil service screening exercise.
Kogi East Development Forum therefore pledge to  mobilise support for reelection of Governor Yahaya Bello during November 2 governorship election
