Governor Yahaya Bello of Kogi, on Monday, listed 17 Commissioner nominees, just as he announced the retention of incumbent Secretary to the State Government, Dr Folashade Ayoade-Arike. Bello made the announcement in his inaugural speech after taking Oath of Office and Allegiance in Lokoja. The governor appealed to members of the State Assembly to screen the nominees in earnest to enable the full takeoff of government activities. “By the grace of God, the Oath of Office I have just taken is a pact to do right to all citizens as the 4th Executive Governor of Kogi State. “In this second and concluding term of my constitutional tenures as governor, it shall be the principal preoccupation of my administration to deliver good governance,” he said.
