Meanwhile, the Kogi State governor, Alhaji Yahaya Bello has hailed Kogi State workers at all level for their commitment to the collective growth, development and stability experienced in the various sectors of the state, noting that his administration remained committed to their welfare, wellbeing.

Governor Bello noted that the State’s workforce formed the bedrock for administration and governance, hence if there was a dedicated, highly motivated and productive workforce, good governance would be further enhanced.

He expressed that Kogi State as against far back indices could now boast of a highly productive workforce that has even gained recognition by national rating Agencies for its improved productivity.

The Governor noted that his administration even under serious financial constraints have continued to promptly fulfil its financial obligation to its workforce, while it sought new means to ensure that their welfares were improved

Governor Bello however urged the workforce to remain dedicated to ensuring that their contributions in their respective work area added value to the growth and development of the state.
