SPEECH BY HIS EXCELLENCY, ALH. AHMED USMAN ODODO, GOVERNOR OF KOGI STATE, AT THE LAUNCH OF THE PRODUCE FOR LAGOS PROGRAMME
Protocols.
Distinguished Ladies and Gentlemen,
1. It is an honour to be here today to mark a milestone in inter-state collaboration, food security, and economic integration.
2. Let me begin by emphasizing a simple but timeless truth that Lagos and Kogi share a long-standing bond rooted in commerce, migration, mutual respect, and shared vision. A significant number of Kogi citizens have made Lagos their home, investing their skills, resources, and energy into the development of this great State. Kogi has always been part of the greatness of Lagos, and today, we are elevating that legacy, by building a partnership that works, not just for two states, but for the entire nation.
3. I want to thank my brother and colleague, His Excellency Governor Babajide Olusola Sanwo-Olu, for his visionary leadership and for inviting Kogi to be part of the Produce for Lagos programme and the launch of the ₦100 billion Offtake Guarantee Fund. This initiative is not only timely but transformational. It signals a bold and strategic step to align production with demand and strengthen food systems across regional boundaries.
4. We see this partnership as a mutual investment in people, productivity, and prosperity. Kogi produces food. Lagos consumes food. When we work together, what we achieve is food security, market stability, and inclusive growth.
5. In Kogi State, our administration has made agriculture a top priority. We are not just cultivating crops; we are strengthening our agricultural value chain. We have prepared thousands of hectares of land across the state, provided improved seedlings and livestock breeds, deployed mechanized farming equipment, and extended grants to over 10,000 farmers to scale production.
6. We are proud that Kogi leads Nigeria in cassava production, and we are among the top producers of yam, maize, and other cereals. We are making strategic investments to boost ginger farming, one of the most commercially viable crops globally today.
7. To support all of this, we have revitalized our agricultural extension services, ensuring that technical advice, inputs, and monitoring reach the farmers where they are. We know that more than 80% of our agricultural produce comes from the rural areas. Therefore, we are also investing in rural life, by remodeling healthcare facilities, building modern schools, electrifying underserved communities, and improving farm-to-market roads.
8. What this partnership with Lagos achieves is market assurance. Our farmers can now produce with confidence, knowing that there is a structured and reliable offtake system in place. It is not just about farming anymore, it is about structured prosperity for the entire agricultural ecosystem.
9. Let me also commend Origin Tech Group Nigeria Limited for their foresight and investment in this noble project. The private sector must play a central role in our national agricultural renaissance, and you are leading by example.
10. At the national level, we are greatly inspired by the vision of our President, our father and our leader, His Excellency Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu, GCFR. His administration’s Greener Hope Agricultural Productivity Programme, with $1 billion already committed, has reaffirmed that agriculture is the new oil. Mr. President has shown uncommon courage and clarity of purpose in redirecting our national energy toward food production and value chain development.
11. Your Excellency, Mr. President, Nigeria needed a bold and patriotic leader who would not just echo hope, but implement it. In you, we have that leader. You are building a Nigeria that eats what it produces and produces what it eats.
12. Kogi is proud to align fully with the Renewed Hope Agenda. Today’s event is not just symbolic; it is substantive. It marks a new vista of collaboration that puts people first and strengthens the.......
Just In: Police authorities in Lokoja, Kogi State, have launched a manhunt for Oluwapelumi Adebayo, who is suspected of luring a young photographer, Ayo Aiyepeku, to his poultry farm and allegedly murdering him.
Adebayo, reportedly a correctional officer, is believed to have stored the victim’s body in a refrigerator, placed it in a van, and left the scene. The motive behind the alleged killing remains unclear.
Sources claim that the suspect later returned to the scene, possibly to clean up, but was spotted by residents and members of a local vigilante group.
Realizing he had been seen, Adebayo reportedly sped off in his vehicle. The vigilantes pursued him, shooting at the vehicle's tires and causing it to crash. He then escaped on foot and has been missing since.
As of this moment, both the suspect and the victim’s body remain unaccounted for.
Family and friends of Ayo Aiyepeku are calling on security agencies to intensify efforts to find the suspect and ensure justice is served.

Dear International Community
I write to you with a heavy heart and unwavering conviction, urging your immediate attention and action concerning a grave human rights violation that has taken place in Kenya.
Albert Ojwang, a young Kenyan citizen, has become the latest victim of state-sponsored brutality. In a harrowing act captured on video and witnessed by the public, an unarmed man was shot at close range by the police his only "crime" was daring to demand justice and accountability. His life, like too many others before him, was deemed disposable by those who swore to protect it.
This is not an isolated incident. It is a pattern. A chilling reflection of a system where the instruments of the state are turned against its people with impunity. The question we now ask is: How much blood must be spilled for Albert Ojwang to get justice? How many more young men and women must be silenced for the world to say, enough is enough?
How can someone sent money to wema bank account since 78hours and the reciever didn’t receive it?
