The
Governor of Kogi Stater, Yahaya Bello has exerted that the Northern region of
the country must unite in its collective developmental agenda so as to enjoy
its full potential and reduce the backwardness it is experiencing.
He

of principles of sincerity, equity, fairness and Justice which would facilitate
adequate security and the region's eventual prosperity.
The

united the North as one indivisible entity because he was sincere, upright and
selfless which exemplified good leadership qualities.
He
pointed out that Sir Ahmadu Bello was neither religious nor ethnic biased
stating that any leader in the North who does not emulate his good virtues was
not worthy to be regarded as such.

Bello noted that he has also lived the good virtues of the great leader which
has been clearly depicted in the resolve of his administration to unite the
state, free of religion, ethnic or class differentiation.

contribution towards the Foundation both in Cash and human resources who have
