Kogi State Governor, Alhaji Ahmed Ododo, has declared that the re-election of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu in 2027 is a “personal project” for him, citing the numerous federal projects and interventions currently benefiting the state.
Governor Ododo made the declaration while receiving leaders of the Team Tinubu 2027 group during a courtesy visit at the Government House in Lokoja.
The governor praised President Tinubu for what he described as strategic developmental efforts aimed at transforming Kogi State and improving the nation’s economy.
He listed some of the key federal projects in the state to include the ongoing construction of the Abuja–Lokoja–Auchi road, renewed efforts toward the operationalisation of the Ajaokuta Steel Company, the approval of the Kogi Free Trade Zone, and the establishment of the Kogi International Airport.
According to him, the projects demonstrate the Federal Government’s commitment to infrastructure development, industrialisation, and economic revitalisation in Kogi State.
Governor Ododo stressed that sustained support for President Tinubu’s administration would ensure the completion and continuity of the projects for the benefit of the people.
