Yahaya Bello

As security issues take a toll on states of Nigeria, the Kogi government, led by Yahaya Bello, has reportedly approved the recruitment of additional 500 vigilante operatives to protect its border areas against infiltration.

The failed attempts to recall Senator Dino Melaye in Kogi by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) was recently described by Governor Ayodele Fayose as a victory against supposed tyranny in the state.

The executive director of the Kogi state Primary Healthcare Development Agency (KSPHCDA), Abubakar Yakubu, said there are plans to establish model health centres in each of the 21 local government areas of the state.

The National Industrial Court, Abuja, on Friday ordered the Kogi government to pay a civil servant, Ameh Onoj, whose salary was stopped in March 2014. Onoja had approached the court to seek redress when his salary was stopped.

Yahaya Bello of Kogi state says the performance of President Muhammadu Buhari will guarantee his re-election in 2019 because the “real voters are behind the president”.The governor said this in a statement through Kingsley Fanwo.

Governor Yahaya Bello on Saturday, March 31, urged Nigerians to assist the Buhari-led administration so that it can achieve its set goals. Bello said that Nigeria is a great nation. He advised the public to keep hope alive.
