Yuletide: Governor Ododo Distributes Over 100 Trucks of Rice to Residents

Kogi State Governor, Alhaji Ahmed Usman Ododo, has distributed over 100 truckloads of rice to residents of the state as part of efforts to ensure a joyous Christmas and New Year celebration for families.

The gesture, aimed at alleviating the burden of rising costs during the festive period, was disclosed by the State Commissioner for Information and Communications, Mr. Kingsley Fanwo, on Friday in Lokoja. Fanwo noted that the initiative underscores the Governor’s commitment to the welfare of the people.

“I can confirm that the People’s Governor, Alh. Ahmed Usman Ododo, has taken delivery of over 100 truckloads of rice, which are being distributed to the 21 Local Government Areas. This is to ensure that families across the state enjoy their holidays,” he said.

Fanwo added that the Governor, in addition to this gesture, ensured the timely payment of salaries to civil servants on December 14, 2024, while also making provisions for residents not directly on the government payroll.

“The Governor has once again demonstrated his unbending commitment to the welfare of the people, in line with his oath to defend and promote the interests of Kogi citizens. His actions continue to reflect his determination to prioritize the needs of the masses,” Fanwo stated.

To ensure equitable distribution, the Governor directed the Ministry of Humanitarian Affairs and Poverty Alleviation to oversee the process and prevent political interference.

“The Governor has mandated the Ministry of Humanitarian Affairs to ensure that the materials reach those who need them most. Measures have been put in place to prevent the distribution from being hijacked by politicians or other interest groups. This administration is committed to fairness and transparency in every initiative,” Fanwo said.

Reports from various Local Government Areas indicate that the distribution has sparked jubilation among residents, with many praising the Governor’s leadership and compassion.

A resident of Ajaka in Igalamela/Odolu Local Government Area, Mr. Andrew Abah, lauded the Governor’s efforts, describing him as a leader with an unwavering commitment to his people.

“This Governor has shown remarkable capacity and genuine love for his people. He is detribalized and inclusive, ensuring that the welfare of civil servants and ordinary citizens is prioritized. He is making it difficult for anyone to dislike him,” Abah said.

The distribution of rice is part of a broader strategy by Governor Ododo’s administration to cushion the effects of economic hardship on Kogi residents, particularly during the festive season. This initiative has further solidified his reputation as a leader who is deeply attuned to the needs of his people.
