Gov Bello Lauds Buhari On Ajaokuta Deal With Russia

Governor Yahaya Bello of Kogi State has commended President Muhammadu Buhari over a recently signed bilateral agreement with Russia at the Russia – Africa summit on the revival of Ajaokuta Steel Company.

Governor Bello noted that the good news had revived the hope of Kogi State as it would go a long way to boost the state’s economy and solve to very large issues of unemployment as well as limiting the state’s reliance on Federal Government’s allocation.

He said the effort of President Buhari in reviving the lost glory of the steel company was an attestation to the fact that he was a promise keeper who sought the good interest and development of the confluence state.

Governor Bello explained that the New Direction Government and the people of the state owed the Federal Government under the leadership of President Buhari a deep sense of gratitude affirming that the confluence State would continue to give the administration it’s the very best support

The Governor also thanked the Russian government for showing faith in the possibilities which the steel company holds for both parties while he assured them of the State’s unflinching support in the steel company revival process.

The Governor added the state is grateful to the president for fulfilling his promise of revitalizing the steel industry. Recall that the president during his campaign in February at the Lokoja Confluence Stadium assured the people of Kogi state of revitalising the Ajaokuta if returned to office.

Governor Bello, however, reassured the people of the state of his government’s continued effort towards a total economic revitalisation of the state which he noted would help create a more prosperous state,  where everybody could thrive
