Abuja: Governor Ahmed Usman Ododo of Kogi State has called on the people of the state and other Nigerians in the United Kingdom to rally behind the economic reforms of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, and project a positive image of Nigeria.

The governor, who made the plea at a Town Hall meeting with the citizens of Kogi and other Nigerians in London on Thursday, asked them to channel their investments, expertise and global networks towards the development of Kogi State and the nation.

The Governor argued that since Nigeria’s future depends on the collective efforts of its citizens both at home and abroad, Nigerians in the diaspora should become active partners in nation-building by supporting ongoing reforms and taking advantage of emerging investment opportunities in Kogi State.

Governor Ododo said the engagement was not merely an opportunity to reconnect with Kogites living abroad but a platform to strengthen collaboration between the diaspora and the state government in pursuit of sustainable development.
