Ohi of Ajaokuta, His Royal Highness Isa Musa Achuja, has described Alhaji Ahmed Usman Ododo as a visionary Governor.
In a statement he personally signed and made available to newsmen on Saturday, the monarch expressed gratitude to Governor Ododo for his unwavering commitment to the development of Ajaokuta and Kogi state at large.
Ohi of Ajaokuta said Governor Ododo’s recent diplomatic engagement in China, which culminated in the signing of a memorandum of understanding and a robust economic partnership agreement, is a testament to his strategic foresight and dedication to repositioning Kogi state as a hub for industrial growth.
“The inclusion of critical sectors such as Agriculture, Mining, and the Ajaokuta Industrial Park in this agreement marks a significant milestone that will not only transform Ajaokuta but also uplift the socio-economic standing of our entire state. These partnerships signal new opportunities for investment, job creation, and sustainable development — benefits that will be felt across generations.
“Your forthright leadership, tireless initiatives towards the industrialization of Ajaokuta, and unrelenting drive for human capital development deserve every commendation. As royal father and constituent of Ajaokuta, I see and feel the impact of your work. Your love for Kogi State and your inclusive approach to governance inspire hope and pride in us all.
“The people of Ajaokuta, and indeed all Kogites, are grateful for your people-oriented style of leadership — one rooted in vision, action, and results. We recognize your bold steps toward progress and wholeheartedly support your mission to position Kogi as an industrial powerhouse in Nigeria,” he said.

The monarch prayed that Governor Ododo’s tenure continue to bring prosperity, peace, and enduring development to Ajaokuta and the entire state.
