In his relentless strive to turn Kogi State to infrastructural hub, the State Government under the leadership of Governor Yahaya Bello (fondly known as GYB), has turned the state into a construction site by investing hugely in the infrastructural facilities across the state to the admiration and commendation of entire Kogites and Nigerians at large.

This is even as the Project Monitoring Team of Ministry of Works and Housing, personally headed by the Commissioner, Engr. Abubakar S. Ohere, on Thursday, continued her statewide daily work inspection in the State Capital, Lokoja.

The construction sites visited on Thursday included the much talked about first interchange flyover Bridge in the state capital at Ganaja Junction; the Construction of Admin Block and renovation work at the Specialist Hospital; the ongoing replication of Eagle Square in the Confluence City – the Ultra modern civic centre at the heart of Lokoja metropolis; the embankment exercise of Lokoja Beach at Kpata; and the ongoing reconstruction of Lokoja Township Road from Paparanda Square to Nataco Junction.
