A new Kogi State LANDS AND HOUSING SERVICES BUREAU headed by a Director-General (to be appointed in due course) is hereby created out of the current Kogi State Ministry of Works, Lands, Housing and Urban Development.


The former Kogi State Ministry of Works, Lands, Housing and Urban Development is hereby renamed the KOGI STATE MINISTRY OF WORKS AND URBAN DEVELOPMENT with ENGR. SADIQ ABDULMUMINI still COMMISSIONER.


All changes become effective on the 1st day of January, 2018.


Redeployed officials are to brief their replacements fully in writing and conduct formal handover on or before close of work on the effective date.


The Secretary to the Kogi State Government is to formalise appropriate records without delay.


After about 18 months in office, all Cabinet members must know where they stand in terms of productivity. This Administration requires excellence at all times. Mere good performance can never be good enough, and some have even fallen below that.


Those who have not added significant value to Kogites through their offices MUST start now to post superlative results. In the next 90 days, if they are still average, they will leave me no choice but to find those who will keep pace with our governance aspirations.


Dated this 28 day of November, 2017.


Signed:


YAHAYA BELLO


Executive Governor of Kogi State
