Hon. Ibrahim Adabara, Special Adviser to the Governor on Grassroots Mobilization and Coordination, has commended Governor Ahmed Usman Ododo, FCA, for his commitment to grassroots development, youth empowerment and improving the livelihoods of ordinary citizens across Kogi State.
Adabara applauded the governor's support for women engaged in roadside trading, particularly through financial assistance to strengthen their businesses and provide capital for growth. He described such interventions as meaningful steps towards improving the economic well-being of women and their families.
He also praised Governor Ododo for creating employment opportunities for young people through political appointments and other engagements, noting that the administration has continued to recognise the importance of youth participation in governance and development.
On workers' welfare, Adabara highlighted regular salary payments as a defining feature of the Ododo administration, describing it as a household name in Kogi State. He further disclosed that the governor had indicated plans to recruit personnel into the civil service, urging qualified graduates to keep their academic credentials ready and ensure they possess their Permanent Voter Cards (PVCs).
He encouraged young people and other eligible voters to remain politically conscious and make informed decisions about the leaders they choose, stressing the importance of responsible participation in the democratic process.
Beyond policies and programmes, Adabara also praised Governor Ododo for his humility and respect for people from all walks of life.
