READ: The Message from Kogi State 1st Lady Mrs Rashida Bello as #Kogi turns 25

Hurray Kogi is 25!
I, wish to heartily felicitate with the Executive Governor of the state, His Excellency, Alhaji Yahaya Adoza Bello, the Deputy Governor, Prince Simon Achuba, the Speaker of Kogi State House of Assembly, Rt.Hon Mohammed Imam and the entire good people of the state on the celebration of silver jubilee of the state.......

It was first an idea, it became an agitation and just before we knew it, it became a reality. Now it is 25 years and we roll out the drums to celebrate God's mercy. The attainment of 25 years old in the life    of a human being is no mean feat. It is a sign of maturity.

Indeed, Kogi has come of age and we are happy that in spite of initial distractions, when we look back in the last 25 years, we can confidently say that the dreams and vision of our founding fathers are now finding true expressions, especially with the renewed Vigor and vision  of the Yahaya Bello-led administration.

It is against this background that I  congratulate all Kogites at home and in the Diasporas on this land mark occasion of the state turning 25. Twenty-five years in the life of the state is by no means insignificant.

While assuring you of the resolve of the present government to drive the state on the path of sustainable development, I seek your support for the administration to realize its goal to make the state the cynosure of all eyes.
It's possible..... We can......And we shall!

Congratulations once again!

Signed:
 Her Excellency, Mrs Rashida Bello
 Kogi State First Lady
