Gov. Idris Wada of Kogi has restated his resolve to create jobs for the teeming youths\u00a0 and other unemployed people in the state,<\/p>\n
A statement signed by Mr Michael Abu, the Chief Press Secretary to the Deputy Governor, in Lokoja on Sunday, said that Wada made the pledge at the funeral ceremony of the late Mr Simeon Olutimayin, the Commissioner for Budget and Planning.<\/p>\n
Olutimayim died few days after he was sworn in.<\/p>\n
The governor\u00a0 appealed for peace and harmony among the people of the State saying he would deliver on\u00a0 his campaign promises. The governor described the late commissioner as versatile\u00a0 in financial matters.<\/p>\n
He said he had looked forward\u00a0 to a robust working relationship in planning the state’s economy with\u00a0 the deceased but “the cold hands of death denied the state the opportunity and contributions of\u00a0 a man filled with talents.”<\/p>\n
Represented by the Deputy Gov., Mr Yomi Awoniyi, Wada appealed for peace and harmony among the people of the state and promised to deliver on\u00a0 his campaign promises.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 (NAN)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
