The Governor of Kogi State, Yahaya Bello, on Friday, said if elected, a Bola Tinubu-led government will be largely run by the youth.
Bello revealed that his visit on Friday was to thank the President for accepting the State’s invitation to commission a few infrastructure projects last December.
They include the Reference Hospital Okene and a fleet of ambulances attached to it; the new Ohinoyi’s Palace at Okene; the Ganaja Junction Flyover and interchange at Lokoja; the GYB Model Science Secondary School, Adankolo, Lokoja; the Muhammadu Buhari Square at Lokoja and a fleet of high-tech security vehicles to combat crimes and criminalities.
“You recall that Mr. President visited Kogi state on December 29, 2022. Almost the last state visit he had within the country commissioning project. Graciously, he came, he saw and he believe exactly how we’ve been able to utilize the meager resources in terms of development and the little we have been able to generate as IGR within the state.
“Mr. President was so happy and so pleased. So, it is a follow-up visit that I came today to thank Mr. President and to present an album of some of the projects he commissioned. And by the special grace of God, we’re going to catalog all of the projects and achievements within the life of this administration and present it to him and to the whole world to see.
“Mr President was so happy and he appreciated me. He appreciated the good people of Kogi state for giving my government support and for coming out en mass and welcoming him,” Bello said.All rights reserved.
