By Yahaya Idris
The impact of Kogi’s ‘New Direction’ government can only be fully appreciated by examining its documented blueprint.The document presents a detailed roadmap for sustainable development in Lokoja/Koto federal constituency, emphasizing well-considered policies and community-focused initiatives. Assuming Hon Abdulrafiu Yakubu secures the party ticket in 2027, this vision is poised to translate into tangible benefits for the area.
Hon Abdulrafiu Yakubu’s leadership in Kogi State epitomizes “Continuity and Consolidation.” He has consistently prioritized the well-being of Lokoja/Koto citizens, showcasing a genuine commitment that goes beyond policy declarations. His governance approach emphasizes holistic development, fostering inclusive progress and social-economic prosperity. His Excellency Alhaji Ahmed Usman Ododo acknowledges and supports his vision.
Governor Alhaji Ododo Ahmed Usman’s welfare-oriented policies have made a significant impact on residents in less than a year, impressing even critics. His ability to build upon the ‘New Direction’ administration’s successes and introduce an enhanced employee welfare scheme has earned widespread recognition.
The Kogi State government has exhibited a profound understanding of workforce welfare, transcending public-facing initiatives to support the personnel driving them. Kogi has made history as the first state to implement the newly agreed national minimum wage of N72,500, surpassing federal mandates. Furthermore, a year-long tax exemption alleviates financial burdens for employees across the state, earning praise from Nigerians, the Nigeria Labour Congress, and other labour unions.
Hon Abdulrafiu Yakubu, a respected leader from Lokoja Local Government, aims to expand his governance acumen to the two sisters LGAs, pending electoral support and victory in the 2027 House of Representatives race for Lokoja/Koto Federal Constituency.
