While urging the DLGs to support treasurers in addressing challenges in local government administration, Governor Ododo called for unity among officials, encouraging them to rally round the Accountant General of the state, Habiba Onumoko to ensure the delivery of dividends of democracy to the people at the grassroots.

In his remarks, the Speaker of the Kogi State House of Assembly, Right Honourable Aliyu Umar commended Governor Ododo’s transparency and accountability as a leader and promised that the legislature will continue to support the Governor in his efforts to take governance closer to the people at the grassroots.

In her welcome address, Kogi State Accountant General, Habiba Onumoko highlighted Governor Ododo’s contributions to grassroots development, empowerment of youth and women and employment opportunities as well as appointment into government positions, describing the Governor as a man of impact and an embodiment of humility.
