A front line security expert from Kogi state and stalwart of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC), Dr Erico Joseph Ameh, has felicitated with the State Governor, Alhaji Ahmed Usman Ododo, his Deputy, Comrade Joel Salifu Oyibo on the occasion of their first anniversary in office.
Erico Ameh, in his felicitation message, said the governor has started well and thus far proven to be sensitive to the yearnings of the citizenry. He noted that the governor seems well prepared and determined to succeed in his public service career, adding that his steps have again rekindled hope and the dreams of our founding fathers.
He charged the administration to remain committed to peace, infrastructure development and other ideals of good governance.
‘It is a good thing that you have restored hope through the full payment of salaries and being the first to implement the N72,500 minimum wage to the State and Local Government workers. No one will also ignore your payment of the West African Examination Council, WAEC fees, and bursary awards to tertiary institution students’ policies.
“One is also impressed by the news about the equitable distribution of projects across the three Senatorial Districts. Without doubts, you have proven that you came to serve Kogi State selflessly, putting smiles on the faces of the masses.
“Don’t be distracted, and don’t let the accolades get into your head. There is yet so much work to be done to make our economy competitive and self-sustaining. mechanized farming and harnessing the vast mineral potentials beneath our soil may be the way to go if our state must truly excel,” he said.
Dr Erico Joseph Ameh urged the people to continue in their unalloyed support for the government, adding that “it is my prayer that God will use the lessons of the past year to guide you in making the right choices for our dear state”.
