From Gegu in Kogi Local Government Area through Koton-Karfe, around the Murtala Muhammed Bridge in Jamata, Nataco Junction to the Government House in Lokoja, the jubilant crowd thronged the streets and brought the convoy of the Governor to momentous halts at different points as Governor Ododo acknowledged cheers from the crowd of joyous supporters.

Addressing supporters at the Government House, an elated Governor Ododo expressed gratitude to God for the victory at the tribunal and thanked the people of the state for standing by the mandate that made him the Governor of the state in the November 11, 2023 Governorship election.

Governor Ododo noted that the affirmation of his victory by the governorship election tribunal is a further motivation for his administration to continue to improve on social welfare, security of lives and property, access to free education and quality healthcare, promoting industrialization and agricultural development and ensuring peaceful coexistence among the people of the state.

According to Governor Ododo:

“I stand before you today, humbled and grateful, to express my deepest appreciation for your unwavering support.

BREAKING: Fed Govt sues 36 states at Supreme Court over local govt autonomy

The federal government has sued the thirty-six governors before the Supreme Court to ensure the autonomy of the nation’s local governments.

In the suit, marked SC/CV/343/2024, was filed on May 20, by the Attorney General of the Federation and Minister of Justice (AGF), Lateef Fagbemi (SAN) on behalf of the federal government.

The federal government is praying the Apex Court for an order prohibiting state governors from unilateral, arbitrary, and unlawful dissolution of democratically elected leaders for local governments.

It also prayed the Supreme Court for an order permitting the funds standing in the credits of local governments to be directly channelled to them from the federation account in line with the provisions of the Constitution as against the alleged unlawful joint accounts created by governors.

It wanted an order stopping governors from constituting caretaker committees to run the affairs of local governments as against the constitutionally recognized and guaranteed democratic system.

Also, the federal government wants an order of injunction restraining the governors, their agents, and privies from receiving, spending or tampering with funds released from the Federation Account for the benefit of local governments when no democratically elected local government system is put in place in the states.

Kogi State Governor, Alhaji Ahmed Usman Ododo , has taken swift action following the recent abduction of students at the Confluence University of Science and Technology (CUSTECH) in Osara. The governor, who was away when the incident took place, immediately visited the university campus upon his return to the state to assess the situation and receive briefs from the school management.

Governor Ododo expressed his concern and assured the public that security agencies are working tirelessly to rescue the abducted students. He also promised to review ongoing security operations within and around the institution to ensure that the victims are rescued as soon as possible.

Speaking with newsmen, the governor disclosed that preliminary reports suspect the likelihood of internal sabotage, as CCTV cameras within the institution were disconnected shortly before the attack. Nevertheless, the governor promised that those behind the unfortunate incident would be brought to book.

With regards to the current situation, Governor Ododo commended all the security agencies including the local vigilante and hunters groups for their tremendous effort thus far. He also encouraged citizens to volunteer credible information that can aid investigators in their efforts to bring the abductors to justice.

In light of the recent security breach, the governor reassured the public that his government would continue to strengthen security across school communities to ensure that students can carry out their academic activities without fear of attack. Overall, Governor Ododo's visit to the university demonstrates his commitment to ensuring the safety and security of all residents of Kogi State.

PRESIDENT TINUBU TO LITHIUM INVESTORS: MY GOVERNMENT IS SET TO MAKE NIGERIA THE SOLAR PANEL AND EV BATTERY MANUFACTURING HUB OF AFRICA

President Bola Tinubu has commended the inauguration of Nigeria's largest lithium processing plant in Lafia, Nasarawa State, hailing it as a clear indication of the country's attractiveness for foreign investment.

President Tinubu made the remarks on Friday in Abuja during a meeting with Governor Abdullahi Sule of Nasarawa State, who was accompanied by Mr. Hi Yongwei, Chairman of Avatar New Energy Materials Company Limited, and Mr. Zhenhua Pei, Chairman, Canmax Technologies.

Avatar, a Chinese firm, built the lithium processing plant which produces about 4,000 metric tonnes daily while Canmax Technologies, a renowned Chinese firm responsible for over 30% of global battery material production, announced a new investment of $200 million for another lithium processing plant in Nasarawa State.

Welcoming the inauguration of the plant and the announcement of new investment plans, President Tinubu urged the Chinese firms to prioritize environmental protection, community engagement, and corporate social responsibility initiatives as integral parts of their operations.

''There are other aspects of lithium that you are exploring in the country, especially in battery production. Nigeria is a huge market for solar panels. Africa is a major consumer of solar technologies. I do not see why these panels and batteries cannot be produced here. The labour is cheaper. Our youths are vibrant and skilled. Our people are brilliant and adapt to new technology. The economy is increasingly more vibrant, and Nigeria is dependable. We have the consumption capacity and a surplus of steady-handed citizens with gifted minds and an innate drive to work and produce.

''You must not leave the community in ruins as you explore for our high-grade minerals. You must be concerned with cooperation and always care for the community.

''We are caring partners. We want
