Improved allocation helping Kogi pay salaries, do projects – Ododo

Kogi State Governor Usman Ododo has praised the improved revenue allocation under President Bola Tinubu’s administration, which has enabled his government to pay salaries promptly and execute infrastructure projects statewide. During a meeting at the Government House Banquet Hall in Lokoja, Ododo highlighted that the additional revenue available to the state has bolstered his administration's ability to meet financial obligations to workers without compromising infrastructure development.

He credited President Tinubu for the increased revenues that have strengthened the state's capacity to balance worker compensation and development projects.

The State Coordinator of A4A, Abdulkareem Mohammed, also known as Asuku, presented the group's organizational structure and its strategy for grassroots mobilization ahead of the 2027 general elections. Mohammed outlined plans to target 200 votes from each of Kogi's 3,508 polling units, aiming for a total of 701,600 votes. The group has set up a mobilization structure with 10 representatives and 10 women representatives per polling unit.

They plan to conduct extensive grassroots engagements, visiting each local government area to highlight the successes of the Tinubu and Ododo administrations. Mohammed emphasized that the completed projects with federal support will be central to the group's election campaign messages.
