The Governor of Kogi State, Usman Ododo, has regretted the issues of insecurity and frequent flooding in certain areas of his state, urging the federal government to help address the situation.
In a statement released on Friday by the Special Adviser to the Governor on Media, Ismaila Isah, Governor Ododo stressed the importance of the federal government’s support during a meeting with a delegation from the Revenue Mobilisation Allocation and Fiscal Commission (RMAFC) at the Government House in Lokoja.
Governor Ododo highlighted that Kogi State, a transit state that shares borders with the federal capital territory and 10 other states, urgently needs increased financial intervention from the federal government to tackle the challenges posed by insecurity and flooding effectively.
He further emphasized that if these issues are not addressed, they could significantly impact not only the federal capital, Abuja, but also the neighbouring states.
