Kogi State Governor, Yahaya Bello, says he came, saw, and will be leaving the state better than he met it.
Bello said this at the 4th convocation ceremony of Kogi State Polytechnic in Lokoja, the state capital, on Saturday, January 6, 2024.
The governor said part of his achievements was evident in the repositioning of Kogi State Polytechnic and other state tertiary institutions.
He said: “My achievements can be attested to, by where the state polytechnic was before my assumption of office, where it is now, and how we have repositioned it for the future.
“We have taken time to look into the education sector for the benefit of our people; we made education a top priority in our thematic agenda.
“We did not only improve on the infrastructure and learning in our tertiary institutions but also expanded our educational institution through the establishment of two additional universities.

On his part, the Rector of the Polytechnic, Dr Salisu Ogbo, commended the governor for his support towards the successes recorded, describing his appointment as a rare privilege, and thanked the governor for finding him worthy to serve.
