Kogi State Governor, Alhaji Ahmed Usman Ododo, has charged APC youth leaders across the 21 local government areas to intensify grassroots engagement and sensitisation ahead of the 2027 general elections.
The Governor gave the charge on Friday while receiving the youth leaders at Government House, Lokoja, urging them to take the message of the Tinubu administration's achievements to their respective communities. He also called for adequate preparation for the APC rally scheduled for December 8 in the state.
Ododo highlighted federal infrastructure projects in Kogi, including the proposed international airport, Lokoja–Okene–Benin Expressway and Ankpa erosion control project, noting that the extension of the erosion control project had received approval. He also announced that the Ibaji Road project would be flagged off on the 9th, with contractors already mobilised to various project sites.
The Governor urged the youths to engage residents constructively and communicate government policies and development initiatives in languages they understand.
Earlier, the Commissioner for Youth and Sports, Monday Aridaojo Anyebe, commended the Governor for creating opportunities for youth participation in governance, highlighting scholarship opportunities and improved welfare support for students.
Also speaking, the State APC Youth Leader, Buhari Lokoja, assured the Governor that the youth leaders would take the sensitisation campaign to the grassroots, leveraging their familiarity with local communities and languages to communicate the administration's achievements.
The Kogi APC Chairman, Engr Momoh Ezu Aliyu, described the emergence and inauguration of youth leaders across the state as a welcome development.
