Choosing The Next Kogi Sate Governor

By Abu Micheal.

Kogi is one State that is in critical need of development despite its amazing and abundant human and natural resources.

As such the state is not one that should be left in the hands of political gamblers, for few persons who have made fortunes as land speculators and people who do not have the right leadership credentials to govern a complex state as ours.

For now the need to ask those thinking about becoming the next governor of the state, but are dolling out cars, ankara and monies, what there antecedent had been as civil and public servants, has become very important. This is because Kogi is not an investment for people to think that what the spend now, they will recoup later. Furthermore, the state can't always be guinea pigs for leadership experimentation as has been the case over the years.

Kogi State is no doubt heavily endowed by God to make it prosper as the potential food basket of the nation and also a tourist destination.

According to a report published by the Federal Ministry of Mines and Steel Development in 2009, Nigeria has commercial deposits of a total of 37 minerals, up from 33 minerals in 2008.

Wada Building The Needed Health Infrastructures

By Micheal Abu

The efforts of Governor Idris Wada rebuilding decayed infrastructures in the health sector of the State goes to show the importance the administration places on the health of the people.

Health is undoubtedly every human’s most prized treasure.  It is a key to the future and sustainer to the present.  That is why Hippocrates, the father of medicine, once said, “A wise man should consider that health is the greatest of human blessings, and learn how by his own thought to derive benefit from his illnesses”.

But important as health is, it's not automatic given; it sometimes needs to be carefully cultivated and actively nourished.
