The Secretary to the Government of the Federation, Senator George Akume, has hailed the performance of the Kogi State Governor, Ahmed Usman Ododo on his one hundred days in office.
Senator Akume gave the commendation when he received Governor Ododo on a courtesy call to the SGF’s office on Tuesday in Abuja.
Ododo’s spokesperson Ismaila Isah in a statement on Wednesday said Senator Akume expressed admiration for the governor’s drive and positive disposition to accord priority to the welfare of the people of the state which he said is the hallmark of good governance.
The SGF said Ododo’s record so far has set him on a good trajectory as an emerging leader in Nigeria.
“Do not be distracted by criticisms because you have started remarkably well and I am sure you will continue this way till the end of your tenure in office, may God be with you”, Senator Akume said.
Earlier Governor Ododo said the visit was in appreciation of the support the SGF has given to him since he became Governor of Kogi State.
Ododo described Senator Akume as a patriot whose record of achievements in public office is worthy of emulation by the younger generation.
He appealed to the SGF for support in achieving the development agenda of his administration in the state.
Governor Ododo was accompanied on the visit by the state Commissioner for Local Government and Chieftaincy Affairs, Barrister Deedat Ozigi Salami and the Technical Adviser to the Governor on Multilateral and Donor Funded Projects, Dr. Abdullahi Ozomata.
