Kogi State Governor Ibrahim Idris has urged political office holders in the Central Senatorial District to woo viable projects to the area to boost the state economy.

He said since peace had returned to the area, stakeholders should attract investors, who could establish viable projects in the district.

The governor said his administration bought 5,000 farming implements for farmers in the 21 local governments to enhance mechanised farming.

The Chairman Okene LGA said his council focused on the agricultural sector to boost food production, adding that free fertilisers and farm implements were being distributed to farmers.

He said: “We embark on projects that have a direct bearing on the people, in line with your (Idris) policy of effective development.”

The chairman said although he faced some challenges in the quest for peace, his efforts had paid off.

He said his administration had improved social services, such as poverty alleviation and youth empowerment, staff welfare, road construction, water, health, education, agriculture and commerce.

Dignitaries at the ceremony include the senator representing Kogi Central, Nurudeen Abatemi and House of Assembly Speaker Abdullahi Bello.
