The Kogi State Commissioners Forum has commended the Governor of the State, Alhaji Ahmed Ododo, for “blazing the trail with a living wage for workers,” saying the civil service in the state will no doubt give its best to the development of the state.
The Commissioners, through a communiqué issued after their meeting on Tuesday, said the Governor has never put anyone in doubt as to his commitment to the welfare of workers and the entirety of the Kogi people.
“We are proud of the governor’s approach to issues of worker welfare and the welfare of the good people of our dear state. The announcement of the N72,500.00 minimum wage and the tax relief granted for a year show that the Governor is indeed a friend of the masses.
“It is an honour to serve with His Excellency Alhaji Ahmed Ododo because of his determination and commitment to make Kogi better. He has built on the legacies of his predecessors and opened new windows of progress and development.
“As Commissioners, we are committed to working as his foot soldiers to deliver his promises to the great people of our dear state.”
The meeting of the Commissioners was hosted by the Chairman of the Forum, Mukadam Asiwaju Asiru Idris who is the Commissioner for Finance, Budget and Economic Planning. All the other commissioners were in attendance.
The meeting was also graced by the Secretary to the Government of Kogi State, Mrs Folashade Arike Ayoade, Ph.D.
