Kogi
State Governor, Alhaji Yahaya Bello has commended President Muhammadu Buhari
over a recently signed bilateral agreement with Russia at the Russia – Africa
summit on the revival of Ajaokuta Steel Company.
The
good news of the bilateral agreement was contained in a Press Statement signed
by the Senior Special Assistant to the President, Malam Garba Shehu who
revealed that both countries agreed to a bilateral proposal that contained
various areas of interests including the Ajaokuta Steel Rolling Mill.
Mr.
Shehu stated that both countries Ministers earlier had fruitful deliberation
and President Buhari’s request for the return of Russia, on a
government-to-government relationship for completion and commissioning of the
plant was accepted by President Putin.
Governor
Bello noted that such good news had revived the hope of Kogi State as it would
go a long way to boost the state’s economy and solve to very large issues of
unemployment as well as limiting the state’s reliance on Federal Government’s
allocation.
He
said the effort of President Muhammadu Buhari in reviving the lost glory of the
steel company was an attestation to the fact that he was a promise keeper who
sought the good interest and development of the confluence state.
Governor
Bello explained that the New Direction Government and the people of the state
owed the Federal Government under the leadership of President Muhammadu Buhari
a deep sense of gratitude affirming that the confluence State would continue to
give the administration it’s the very best support
The
Governor also thanked the Russian government for showing faith in the
possibilities which the steel company holds for both parties while he assured
them of the State’s unflinching support in the steel company revival process.
The
Governor added the state is grateful to the president for fulfilling his
promise of revitalizing the steel industry. Recall that the president during
his campaign in February at the Lokoja Confluence Stadium assured the people of
Kogi state of revitalising the Ajaokuta if returned to office.
Governor
Bello, however, reassured the people of the state of his government’s continued
effort towards a total economic revitalisation of the state which he noted
would help create a more prosperous state, where everybody could thrive.
