A statement issued on Tuesday by the state Information Commissioner, Kingsley Fanwo, stated that the governor described the appointment as “a confirmation of his astuteness in his chosen profession and the confidence reposed in him to bring his wealth of experience to bear in repositioning the Nigeria Police Trust Fund.”
It added, “The Chief Servant of Kogi State, His Excellency Alh Ahmed Usman Ododo, also thanked President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, GCFR for finding an accomplished Kogite worthy of such a strategic appointment.
He said the President has shown his faith in the best of Kogi to work with him to accomplish the Renewed Hope Agenda for a greater Nigeria.
“Governor Ododo said the appointment of Mohammed Sheidu demonstrates an unswerving commitment of Mr President to working with young, committed and resourceful Nigerians regardless of their state of origin, assuring Mr President of his readiness to lead Kogites from the front in supporting his policies and programs which are generally for the betterment of our dear nation.
“We do not doubt that Mr Mohammed Sheidu will bring the Kogi spirit of excellence to bear in setting standards that will justify the meritorious consideration behind his appointment.
