KFSSA Applauds Governor Ododo’s Unwavering Support for GOBO: Empowering Petty Traders and Transforming Communities

The Kogi Forum of Senior Special Assistants (KFSSA) expresses profound gratitude to His Excellency, Governor Ahmed Usman Ododo, the Grand Patron of the Governor Ododo Business Outreach (GOBO), for gracing the GOBO Relaunch on January 26, 2025. His presence at the event reaffirmed his unwavering commitment to the welfare of Kogi State’s citizens, particularly petty traders and the less privileged.

We deeply appreciate Governor Ododo’s visionary leadership and his trust in KFSSA’s dedication to promoting his administration’s sustainable socio-economic outreach. His belief in the GOBO Initiative has been a transformational force for countless small-scale traders across the state.

Through GOBO, we have successfully extended economic support and empowerment to petty traders in major markets across Kogi State, including:
✅ Lokoja Old Market
✅ Kabba Central Market
✅ Ankpa Central Market
✅ Okene Central Market
✅ Lokongoma Market

Additionally, we have engaged traditional rulers in these communities to foster collaboration and development at the grassroots level.

A Commitment to People-Centered Governance

Governor Ododo’s welfarist approach to governance continues to yield remarkable benefits for Kogi State. His administration’s impact is evident in infrastructure development, healthcare, education, and economic empowerment—all driven by a clear vision for a prosperous Kogi State.

As members of KFSSA, we remain committed to advancing this flagship initiative, ensuring it reaches even more traders and contributes to the overall development of the state.

We pledge our unwavering loyalty to Governor Ododo’s visionary leadership and appreciate his continuous support, including his generous donation to our forum. As his foot soldiers, we are fully prepared to drive the GOBO Initiative forward, championing the administration’s Advanced New Direction and its core pillars of continuity, consolidation, and accelerated strategic development.

Once again, we extend our heartfelt appreciation to Governor Ododo for his steadfast leadership and dedication to uplifting the people of Kogi State.

May God bless and guide you as you continue to serve, Your Excellency.
