The Kogi State House of Assembly has approved the appointment of
four additional Special Advisers for Governor Yahya Bello.
This brings the number of the governor’s aides to 67.
This follows an earlier letter addressed to the House and read
on the floor of the House at Tuesday’s plenary presided over by the
newly elected Speaker, Mathew Kolawole, who formally took charge as
the state’s number one lawmaker following the resignation of Ahmed
Imam two weeks ago.
In the letter, Governor Yahya Bello had said the request for the
additional four Special Advisers was to improve the quality of
governance in the state as well as provide for equal
representations of the 25 local government areas.
Earlier, the Speaker had called for cordial relationship among
members in order to move the House forward.
“I urge all honourable members to redouble efforts in the
principal task of making laws for the good governance and I beseech
honourable members to come up with bills to accomplish this,” he
said.
He also called on various committees with bills for attention
over a considerable period of time to expedite action and revert to
the House for necessary action.
