Kogi Receives First Derivation Allocation As Oil Producing State by abu12: 7:06am On Oct 21, 2022 |
Kogi State has received its first derivation
allocation as an oil producing state.
Governor Yahaya Bello, who disclosed this during
the State Executive Council meeting yesterday,
assured the people of the determination of his
administration to continue to record more wins
for Kogites.
He said his administration had recorded many
giant strides in the sectors covering the thematic
areas of his New Direction Blueprint, adding that
the “derivation allocation will make us do more
for our people”.
Governor Bello said: “I am elated to announce to
the good people of Kogi State that my
administration has received our first derivation
allocation as an Oil Producing State. This
announcement is in line with my
administration’s commitment to transparency
and accountability, for which we have received
many awards.
“We worked hard to make this history. But we
wouldn’t have achieved it without the support of
our people, who stood resolutely with us to make
this see the light of the day. We also wish to
express our gratitude to President Muhammadu
Buhari for his leadership roles as well as the
RMAFC for making this a reality.
“Let me reiterate this to the people of Kogi State
that my promise to make their resources work for
them is iron cast. We will build more schools,
hospitals and construct more roads. We will
empower our youth and women. Under my
watch, we will ensure security.”
Addressing pressmen after the State Executive
Council meeting, the State Commissioner for
Information and Communications, Kingsley
Fanwo, said the derivation allocation came at a
time the State Government was building legacy
projects across the State, stressing that the
governor would ensure “judicious use of the
derivation allocation”.
“The Governor has once again proved that he is a
goal getter with the tenacious manner he
defended the interest of the state to be listed as
an Oil Producing State. History will remember
him for this feat,” he stated.
Also, the State Commissioner for Finance, Budget
and Economic Planning, Asiru Idris, said the
administration would continue to put in place
more “people oriented projects”.
