On behalf of the Governing Council, Academic Board, Management, Alumni, staff, and students of Kogi State Polytechnic, Lokoja, I heartily and warmly rejoice with His Excellency, the Executive Governor of Kogi State and Visitor to the institution, Alhaji Ahmed Usman Ododo on the auspicious occasion of his birthday anniversary.
Your Excellency, Sir, celebrating this significant milestone with uncommon warmth, unconditional love, humility and generosity toward all has made the celebration even more special and meaningful.
We celebrate you most profoundly for the grace and unique distinction that consistently define your leadership. Your unwavering commitment to service, inclusiveness and development continue to inspire hope and confidence across every layer of our society.
We commend you wholeheartedly for offering yourself genuinely as the Chief Servant of the people, a role you have embraced with sincerity and courage, as clearly reflected in the visible transformation of our rural communities, the steady renewal of our urban centres and the consistent improvement in the quality of life of our citizens.
We appreciate you for advancing the frontiers of consolidating the New Direction Project, as articulated and vigorously pursued under your immediate predecessor, His Excellency, Alhaji Yahaya Adoza Bello and for consolidating these gains with renewed vision and purpose.
At Kogi State Polytechnic in particular, we remain profoundly grateful for your immense support, invaluable guidance and admirable principle of non-interference, which have preserved the institution’s autonomy, strengthened academic ethics and promoted a culture of excellence, innovation, and institutional stability.
We shall continue to celebrate your unrivaled vision, courage, and leadership, which have further consolidated the gains of democracy and strengthened the security architecture of Kogi State.
It is our fervent prayer that Almighty God continue to guide, protect, and strengthen you with the wisdom and grace required to provide even more purposeful leadership for the continued growth and prosperity of our dear state.
Once again, Happy Birthday and Congratulations, Sir.
