BREAKING: New Kogi Gov Ododo Appoints Cabinet Members On First Day In Office

In a groundbreaking move, the newly sworn-in governor of Kogi State, Ahmed Usman Ododo, wasted no time in making his mark by nominating members of his Cabinet and other key aides on his first day in office.

Having taken the oath as the 5th elected governor of Kogi State on a Saturday afternoon, Ododo took the opportunity during his inaugural speech to announce the nomination of several Commissioners into his cabinet. These nominees are set to be presented to the State House of Assembly for prompt confirmation as members of the State Executive Council (SEC).

Notably, the Commissioner-nominees include individuals who were part of the immediate-past administration of Governor Yahaya Bello. Among them are the former Secretary to the State Government (SSG), Folashade Ayoade Arike, along with Kingley Fanwo and Deedat Salami Ozigi. These appointments are effective immediately.

This swift decision reflects Ododo’s commitment to putting his team in place promptly, ensuring a smooth transition of leadership. The inclusion of members from the previous administration suggests a strategic approach, combining experience with continuity in governance.

The decision of Ododo to announce the carcass of his cabinet during his inaugural speech emphasizes transparency and inclusivity, keeping the citizens informed about key decisions right from the beginning of his tenure. It sets a precedent for a proactive and decisive leadership style in addressing the state’s affairs. The move also signals Ododo’s intent to hit the ground running, delivering on his promises to the people of Kogi State.
