Today, empirical and observatory facts have clearly shown
that Kogi State is in a state of coma and economic doldrums that require an
urgent attention. On all fronts, Kogi State spells
failure. The indices for any vestige of development remain abysmal.

*Gov Yahaya Bello of Kogi State |
Poverty rages, unemployment increases in astronomical
dimension, Infrastructural facilities are in decay, education sector is
struggling to survive, salaries are unpaid, hunger, despair and destruction now
haunt the state. The people are indeed living in very trying times:
dissatisfied with the present and face the future with much trepidation. If Kogi State today
were a living entity, it would be perceived as a blind entity groping aimlessly
without direction while pretending to be on a purposeful mission of
institutionalising the change agenda.
