Rights Activist Tasks Kogi Govt At35, Calls for Establishment of State Television
Ibrahim Oyewale in Lokoja Piqued by inability of the previous administrations to establish television station in Kogi State, the Executive Director, Conscience for Human Rights and Conflicts Resolution CHRCR, Idris Miliki,
Kogi State's Conscience for Human Rights and Conflicts Resolution (CHRCR) activist, Idris Miliki, has urged the state governor to establish a television station urgently. Miliki expressed disappointment with previous administrations' failure to build a television station in the region. He emphasized the importance of television in promoting transparency, accountability, and cultural development.
In a press statement, Miliki argued that the establishment of a state television station would be an asset for the people of Kogi State, providing a return on investment. He also called for the review and upgrade of the state's social protection register and the development of a social investment policy to guide the distribution of assistance. The activist proposed conducting an environmental conference to address local environmental challenges and reduce health risks.
Miliki stressed the need for the governor to improve Kogi State's transport sector, including land, water, and air transportation systems, which could create jobs, generate revenue, and enhance services. With neighboring states and the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) surrounding Kogi State, the establishment of a television station could facilitate communication and collaboration among the regions.
