Yahaya Bello's achievements as Governor of Kogi State and his leadership capacity are strong testimonials to consider ahead of 2027. He is a courageous leader who came with a clear vision of a New Direction for Kogi State. From a relatively young entrepreneur to a state leader, he proved that leadership is about impact, not age.

He confronted them head-on and restored security across the state, making Kogi one of the safest states in North Central Nigeria. His model of secur...

Image
  The attention of the National Association of Polytechnic Students (NAPS), State Liaising Council (SLC), Kogi State Chapter has been drawn to the suspension of the old student portal and the introduction of a new portal in Kogi State Polytechnic, Lokoja, with an alleged N5,500 portal access fee and other additional charges reportedly imposed on students before accessing the new platform.

AMID GLOBAL CRUDE OIL PRICE HIKE, DANGOTE REFINERY MAINTAINS STABLE PRICES

Image
  At a time when the global crude oil market is experiencing significant price pressures, the decision by Dangote Refinery to maintain stability in the prices of its petroleum products is worthy of commendation. For the ordinary Nigerian, stability in the price of petroleum products means much more than just the price at the filling station. It affects the cost of transportation, food, education, small businesses, logistics and virtually every aspect of daily life. Any significant increase in fuel prices can quickly place additional financial pressure on families and businesses already facing economic challenges. This is why the decision to maintain relatively stable prices at a time of global uncertainty should be appreciated. It offers some relief to Nigerians and demonstrates a sense of responsibility toward the wider economy. We sincerely appreciate the effort to ensure that Nigerians are not unnecessarily exposed to additional hardship whenever there are changes in the interna...
