“Like every other endeavour, the journey of a thousand miles begins with a step”. Kogi state is blessed with both human and natural resources, these resources have in no small measure added to the progress we have today.
As Kogites, we must continue to make concerted efforts to see our state move forward and our dreams come to full manifestation. Change comes with pains before some fruitful gains, all the challenges our state is facing today can be overcome and constructively tackled through the process of commitment.

“As Kogi state clocked 30 years its creation, let’s us join hands with the government at all levels to move our stare forward.
Together let’s boost Kogi state Higher”.
