On Friday, Kogi State Governor Alh. Ahmed Usman Ododo visited the FGN Power Company in Abuja to explore opportunities for greater collaboration aimed at improving power supply to Kogi State.

The governor emphasized that reliable power supply is central to his administration’s industrialization efforts, stating, “Without adequate power supply, industries will continue to struggle.”
He highlighted Kogi’s strategic position as the central hub of Nigeria, noting, “Our tax administration, excellent security network, and robust economic policies have madeur State a destination of choice for some industrial giants.
