Kogi State Governor, Ahmed Ododo, canvasses need for Diaspora Nigerians in the United Kingdom and beyond to back economic reforms being executed by the President Bola Tinubu-led government at the centre.
Governor Ahmed Ododo of Kogi State has called on Kogites and Nigerians living in the United Kingdom to rally behind the economic reforms of President Bola Tinubu, project a positive image of Nigeria and channel their investments, expertise and global networks towards the development of Kogi State and the nation.
Speaking at a Town Hall Meeting with Kogites and Nigerians in London on Thursday, the Governor said Nigeria’s future depends on the collective efforts of its citizens both at home and abroad, urging the diaspora to become active partners in nation-building by supporting ongoing reforms and taking advantage of emerging investment opportunities in Kogi State.
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.
He said: “You may have crossed oceans in search of opportunity, but you have not crossed beyond your identity. Wherever you excel, our homeland is honoured. Wherever you break new ground, our flag flies a little higher.
