Kogi State Governor, Ahmed Usman Ododo has said the State Executive Council will present a bill for legislation on the 32-year development plan from 2024 to 2056.

Governor Ododo made this known while presenting the 2025 Budget estimate to the Kogi State House of Assembly on Tuesday.

According to the Governor, providing legislative backing for the 32-year development plan of the Kogi State government is to ensure continuity and consolidation of on-going development in infrastructure and human capital development, enhancement of the quality of lives and livelihood of people in urban and rural areas, support for new initiatives in solid minerals development, law, justice and public service reforms, among others which he said have to be sustained to prevent project abandonment and deviation from the strategic vision to position Kogi state as an investment destination.

“As part of our efforts to build a new and prosperous Kogi State, we have developed a 32-year state development plan with the theme ‘Shared Hope and Prosperity’. The document is a comprehensive roadmap designed to transform Kogi State into a thriving, inclusive and sustainable economy,” he stated.

Governor Ododo further said the state development plan is anchored on three pillars of fostering prosperity, building resilience and providing direction for sustainable development through exceptional innovation, wealth creation, healthcare and human capital development established on the foundation of peace and exemplary governance.

He noted the state development plan which is now operational is in three phases beginning with its first phase from 2024 to 2033 to lay the foundation for growth with investment in critical infrastructure, human capital development and economic diversification, adding that the phases two and three from 2034 to 2043 and 2043 to 2056 will focus on accelerating economic growth, improving governance and enhancing environmental sustainability; and consolidating on the gains of the earlier phases promoting innovation and ensuring the state remains competitive and attractive for investment.

The 2025 budget estimates christened budget of consolidation and continuity for inclusive development is N176, 82,989,476 (one hundred and seventy six billion, eighty two million, nine hundred and eighty nine thousand, four hundred and seventy six Naira) higher than the 2024 revised budget representing a 43.34% increase from the 2024 budget.
