The NULGE President General expressed satisfaction on the new government/ Workers relationship in Kogi State, noting that there is a new Sheriff in the state.

” Do not forget your roots, remember that Kogi was one of the few states to have passed local government autonomy and this is important as well” he averred.

Comrade Onuh Edoka earlier in his address, explained that the visit was to preach the gospel of a new Kogi State under Governor Ahmed Usman Ododo whose desire is to make life meaningful for all.
