The Director-General, Protocol, position goes to Suleman Ibrahim, a seasoned professional whose experience is expected to contribute to the smooth functioning of the government machinery.
The media and communication arm of the government will be led by Oladele Nihi, who assumes the role of Chief Press Secretary. Nihi is anticipated to play a crucial role in managing the governor’s communication strategy and ensuring transparency in government affairs.
In a notable move, several former commissioners under the previous administration have been reappointed, reflecting the new governor’s recognition of their expertise. Among them are Kingsley Fanwo, the former Commissioner for Information; Idris Ashiru, former Finance Commissioner; Bashir Gegu, former Commissioner for Solid Minerals; Wemi Jones, former Commissioner for Education; and Salami Deedat, the former Commissioner for Local Government and Chieftaincy Affairs.
The appointments reflect a careful balance between continuity and innovation, as Governor Usman Ododo sets the stage for his administration’s priorities and objectives. The retention of key figures from the previous government, coupled with the infusion of fresh perspectives, signals a commitment to building on past successes while addressing new challenges for the development of Kogi State. The people of Kogi will be keenly watching as the new team takes charge of the state’s affairs, expecting tangible progress and inclusive governance.
