Kogi Tops States With Reduced Domestic Debts, Highest FDI; Linked to Bello's Stance on Covid-19 and Security Strides

The approach by Governor Yahaya Bello of Kogi state in the fight against Corona Virus, especially the No-Lockdown Policy and the open economic activities has yielded another result in the recently released statistical report of states with reduced domestic debts for 2020.

Kogi has also emerged state with the highest foreign direct investments (FDI) worth over $1billion in Nigeria according to the Nigerian Investments Promotion Commission (NIPC).

The refusal of the Kogi state Governor to lockdown the economy while every other state was down, the security situation of the state which has improved majorly to be among the most secured state in Nigeria and likened to Yahaya Bello's support to security agencies, empowerment of local vigilante, use of Intel report, provision of vehicles and building of security outfits across the state has also been attributed to these feats.
