I, Commander Jerry Omodara (Rtd.) congratulate His Excellency, the Executive Governor of Kogi State, Alhaji Yahaya Adoza Bello, on his most-deserved conferment with the iconic National Honour of the Commander of the Order of the Niger (CON).

The honour is most-deserved because you have demonstrated uncommon passion, zeal and patriotism required for leadership of a country like Nigerian.

Your commitment to the security of lives and property and your leadership traits that has united Kogi – a mini nigerian, coupled with your youth consciousness and involvement in governance across the country speaks great volumes of your personality.

You have demonstrated an unqualified capacity for cohesive and inclusive governance through a model of developmental agenda encapsulated in the New Direction Blueprint.

Kogi under your watch has enjoyed religious and cultural tolerance, gender balance, monetary and fiscal policy, good health management, agricultural evolution, and repositioning of the education sector.

I recognized most importantly your indelible imprint in the security sector, and I am proud that your achievements has showcased you on the world stage.

Once again, Your Excellency, congratulations for the most deserved iconic National Honour.

State Security Adviser to the Kogi Government
