Governor Ahmed Usman Ododo has listed a meeting with National Security Adviser Nuhu Ribadu among the achievements of his first 100 days in office in Kogi.

Another ‘achievement’ is a trip to his hometown.

On Thursday, his official X handle shared infographics emblazoned with his photo containing the lists of his first 100 days in office’s achievements.

“We will continue to do more for the good people of Kogi State. God Bless Kogi State. God Bless the Federal Republic of Nigeria,” Mr Ododo wrote, sharing the lists of his achievements across sectors in the state.

The Kogi governor listed “meeting with the National Security Adviser, Mallam Nuhu Ribadu”, as his seventh achievement, while “Announcement of the FIRST SET OF APPOINTMENTS on the first day of office as his first achievement in office. 

The list also included a visit to his village, Okene, a “courtesy visit by Ife-Olukotun Community in Yagba East Local Government Area,” participation in the Meeting of Progressive Governors Forum in Abuja, and a “joint meeting of the Governors of Kogi, Ondo, Taraba with the Hon. Minister of Agriculture & Food Security, SenatorAbubakar Kyari.”

The Kogi governor also mentioned the “distribution of 105 operational vehicles and 42 motorcycles to vigilante services for community policing” as achievements.

Mr Ododo, 42, the auditor-general for local governments during ex-Governor Yahaya Bello’s administration, succeeded his principal after winning the November 2023 Kogi governorship election.

While Ododo is marking his first 100 days in office, his closest rival in the election, Murtala Ajaka, is challenging his victory before the election tribunal.
