Distinguished ladies and gentlemen,
I stand before you today with a heart full of gratitude. I sincerely thank you all for this honour and recognition. I humbly accept this award, and I am challenged to continue improving because truly, no one is perfect.
This recognition will not be taken for granted. I remain committed to working closely with all stakeholders to advance the Lokoja International Market and contribute meaningfully to the growth and development of the entire Lokoja community.
This award is dedicated to the Executive Governor of Kogi State, His Excellency Alhaji Ahmed Usman Ododo, for providing the enabling environment and support that made this achievement possible.
My profound appreciation also goes to our Supreme Leader, the former Governor of Kogi State, His Excellency Alhaji Yahaya Adoza Bello, for laying the strong foundation upon which we, his foot soldiers, proudly stand.
I extend my humble gratitude to my political father and leader, the Auditor General for Local Governments, Hon. Yakubu Siyaka Adebenege (Fancy), for his guidance and mentorship.
My heartfelt thanks also go to my boss, the Director General of Commodities and Exchange Agency, Hon Victor OmoFaye for his continuous support toward our success in the market.
Special appreciation to the Executive Chairman of Kogi State Internal Revenue Service, Alhaji Salihu Enebe, and the entire team for their cooperation and encouragement.
My sincere thanks also go to the Executive Chairman of Lokoja Local Government, Hon. Abdullahi Adamu, for his leadership and the security structure put in place across the council.
To the great Forum of Concerned Indigenous People of Lokoja God bless you all.
To the entire Lokoja International Market community including unions, groups, tribes, and security agencies I deeply appreciate your support and collaboration.
To our respected traditional institutions across all tribes, our royal fathers and mothers, thank you for honouring this occasion. May Allah continue to preserve your lives with sound health, wisdom, and peace of mind.
I wish to remind us that the government of Alhaji Ahmed Usman Ododo is a government of the people committed to delivering good governance to all Kogites and residents of Kogi State. Let us continue to support the government and promote peaceful coexistence.
Thank you, and may God bless the entire Lokoja community, Kogi State, and Nigeria at large.
Ameen.
Ma Salam.
