His Excellency Governor Ahmed Usman Ododo systematically decongesting the over crowded and old State Secretariat by building magnificent structures and moving MDAs out, He is expanding, beautifying the state with no noise.
On the 11th of July 2026, Lokoja, the Confluence City, played host to a landmark visit by the First Lady of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, Her Excellency, Senator Oluremi Tinubu, CON, whose inspiring message transcended politics and echoed a national call for unity, compassion, responsibility, and sustainable development.
Her visit reaffirmed a timeless truth, no nation can attain lasting greatness if it neglects its women, abandons its children, or leaves its youths without opportunities.
She passionately reminded Nigerians that empowering women is not merely an act of charity, but a strategic investment in stronger families, thriving communities, and a more prosperous nation.
The visit was not only inspiring in words but remarkable in impact, Among the key highlights were the commissioning of the National Community Food Bank (North Central Zone), a major intervention aimed at strengthening food security and combating hunger, the commissioning of the ultra modern Kogi State Treasury House named after her, a symbol of transparency, accountability, and efficient public financial management,
The Kogi State Health Insurance House, which reinforces the state's commitment to accessible healthcare, and the launch of the Women Empowerment Scheme, providing grants, tools, and support to women, traders, farmers, and small business owners across the state.
These milestones are a testament to the productive partnership between the Federal Government and Kogi State under the Renewed Hope Agenda.
Special commendation goes to His Excellency, Governor Ahmed Usman Ododo, whose visionary and people centred leadership continues to position Kogi State as a model of purposeful governance, His unwavering commitment to infrastructure, healthcare, economic empowerment, and institutional reforms is delivering tangible benefits to the people.
Equally deserving of commendation is the First Lady of Kogi State, Her Excellency, Hajia Sefinat Usman Ododo, whose dedication to women, children, and vulnerable groups continues to complement the Governor's developmental strides and inspire hope across communities.
The successful delivery of the new Kogi State Treasury House also deserves special recognition, Kudos to the Accountant General of Kogi State, Hajia Habibat Oyiza Tijani Onumoko, whose professionalism, commitment to accountability, and dedication to strengthening public financial management have contributed immensely to this achievement.
The visit of Iya-Alakara1 of Nigeria also provided an opportunity to appreciate the presence and contributions of our revered traditional rulers, distinguished public office holders, political leaders, development partners, women groups, youth organizations, security agencies, and all eminent guests whose collective commitment continues to advance the development of Kogi State and Nigeria.
The central message from today's event remains clear, government alone cannot build the Nigeria of our dreams.
Every parent must instill sound values, every youth must embrace diligence and innovation, every community must support one another, and every leader must remain accountable. National development is a shared responsibility.
As Senator Oluremi Tinubu speaking like a true mother, reminded us, our greatest investment is not merely in roads, buildings, or institutions, but in people.
A nation that empowers its women, educates its children, creates opportunities for its youths, and strengthens its healthcare system is laying the foundation for enduring peace, prosperity, and sustainable progress,
In a very passionate manner, the first lady gave Some wonderful advice to Nigeria entertainers like Davido, Burna & Asake, appealing to them set up foundation for helping the poor.
