Kogi Accountability Platform, calls for overhaul of waste management Agency, townhall meetings by the Gov.

The Kogi Accountability Platform has called for overhaul of the Waste Management, saying that the Agency must be restructured to implement effective waste disposal systems and establish strategic waste dump sites in Lokoja and other urban areas.

This was contained in the communique issued at the end of the 1-day quarterly state of Kogi meeting organized by the Kogi Accountability Platform held at the office of the Initiative for Grass Roots Advancement,(INGRA), Lokoja, the Kogi State capital On Friday, April 11, 2025.

In the communique signed by Hamza Aliyu, Chairman,
Kogi Accountability Platform (KAP),
stressed that the Ministry of Health should establish a medical waste disposal facility in Lokoja to prevent outbreaks of infectious diseases.

The communique stated further that in addition to the provision of waste disposal sites, the State Ministry of Transportation must develop a robust mass transit scheme to alleviate transportation challenges faced by citizens, particularly in Lokoja, the state capital.

it added that the state Governor, Alhaji Ahmed Usman Ododo should convene senatorial townhall meetings across the three Senatorial districts of the state, to engage directly with constituents and gather feedback on his administration, saying that this Promise he made during his electioneering campaign should be duly kept.

the statement read in part said
“The Governor should balance his travel commitments with his responsibilities at home, ensuring greater presence and visibility within the state.

“The State Ministry of Education must intensify monitoring of school authorities to enforce compliance with free education policies.

It added that an increase in the budgetary allocations to the Kogi State Ministry of Water Resources are essential for improving access to potable water statewide.

The group observed that the current administration has demonstrated a genuine commitment to citizen-centered governance through various pronouncements and initiatives, saying that the political environment in Kogi State has stabilized, with reduced tensions compared to previous administrations.

“There has been an increase in civic engagement by the government, particularly concerning budget processes and water resource management.

“Despite significant budgetary allocations for 2025, many government service providers are falling short of citizens’ expectations.

The meeting was attended by more than 20 organizations, including NGOs, community-based groups, professional bodies, and media representatives. Participants engaged in plenary discussions, budget analysis sessions, and a question-and-answer segment focused on service delivery.

The Kogi Accountability Platform (KAP) is a coalition of over 30 Civil Society Organizations (CSOs), professional organizations, and community-based groups dedicated to monitoring and assessing governance performance in Kogi State. It’s mission is to enhance civic participation and promote sustainable development through effective service delivery to citizens. This platform is effectively supported by Stallion Times.
