Gov Ododo seeks FG’s help to tackle insecurity, flooding in Kogi

Kogi State Governor, Ahmed Usman Ododo has called on the federal government to assist the state in tackling the menace of insecurity and incessant flooding in some parts of the state.

Special Adviser to the Governor on Media, Ismaila Isah in a statement on Friday quoted Governor Ododo to have made the call when he received a delegation of the Revenue Mobilisation Allocation and Fiscal Commission, RMAFC at the Government House, Lokoja.

The governor noted that as a transit state that borders the federal capital territory and 10 other states, Kogi is in dire need of improved financial intervention from the federal government to address challenges of insecurity and flooding.

Ododo said the problems of insecurity and perennial flooding could impact the federal capital Abuja and other neighbouring states if left unaddressed.
