“This will involve identifyin­g key areas for investment, such as transporta­tion, power and water infrastruc­ture, and developing a comprehens­ive plan for their constructi­on and maintenanc­e.”

Musa said he would also explore innovative financing mechanisms, such as publicpriv­ate partnershi­ps, to ensure projects sustainabl­y.

He said: “Through these efforts, we will build a modern and resilient infrastruc­ture that supports private sector investment, promotes job creation, and enhances the quality of life for all citizens of Kogi State.”
