*Commence The University Now, God Bless You Yahaya Bello...* _Kogi Foundation Team (_ KOFOT)
We write as stakeholders with representatives across the nine (9) Federal Constituencies of Kogi State to appreciate the State Excos, as led by the state Governor, His Excellency Alhaji Yahaya Adoza Bello for approving a University for Okun, a project Okun has been pursuing for decades even before our generation came to being.
It is a known fact that, after farming, Okun is reputably known from historical point of view to be well read people and the numbers of graduates today in Okun land testifies to this unassailable fact, not to talk of the numerous numbers of sons and daughters who are studying in differences institutions of higher learnings across the world.
In a statement signed by the Head of Mission for KOFOT, Comrade Dayo Onibiyo and Publicity Director, Dr. Adekemi Mohammed the team insisted that, they are happy about the developement and sees it, beyond premodial sentiments.
We therefore, warn those mixing the University with Governorship interest in Okun land to stop such low and barbaric act, which simply confirms them as enemies within and withouh for the hardworking and deserving wonderful Okun people.
It is our prayer that, the 15-man Implementation Committee as disclosed, by the Commissioner, after the state Exco meeting, Honourable Wemi Jones should without delay, swing into action as we okun people can't wait any further to have this on our glorious soil, as we note the fact that the Agricultural college or part of the Agricultural college of the ABU has been partly on our soil for decades, and our effort to get the Federal University landed in the hands of our great brothers the Oworos. This therefore, is worthy of beholding.
We therefore, appeal to His Excellency Alhaji Yahaya Adoza Bello, in our acceptance of this great offer as a people who are greatful, that the University be cited on Yagba land, which is the only Federal Constituency without a University or any Higher Institution's presence.
The pollution of the justiceable approval with political undertone is no doubt a serious de-service to the great people of Kogi state and Okun land in particular, as people in the 21st Century now thinks digitally and couldn't in any way be swayed in analog thinking of saying, it is a way to stop Okun from becoming Governor come November 2023. We are still at a shock as to how INEC adminsters University education in Nigeria.
We like to also remind those short circuited in ideas, to face pursuing the unification of Okun through rallying behind a candidate so that, Okun can have a formidable front at the election and not to use the issue of the well deserved and over due University that will be built majorly with state resources to fan mere political ego tripping.
It is important to remind our people that jobs will be created through this, housing opportunities will come for students as residential, business will spring up and patronages will rise and what other goods have you to add to the list of benefits from having a University, apart from the opportunities of admission for our students.
We therefore, passionately appeal to His Excellency, Alhaji Yahaha Adoza Bello, to ensure that this project is one of the legacies he will leave behind as successful and proof his critics wrong.
