Niger Gov Appoints 131 Women As Aides

• Niger State Governor Bago appointed 131 women to political positions, including 41 coordinators and 90 Senior Special Assistants (SSAs)
• The governor urged appointees to contribute to his administration’s policy initiatives, fulfilling his promise to involve women in governance

Mohammed Umaru Bago, Governor of Niger State, has approved the appointment of 131 women to various political positions.

Bologi Ibrahim, the governor’s spokesman, said in a statement yesterday that 41 of the appointees would serve as coordinators, with the remaining 90 serving as Senior Special Assistants (SSAs).

While congratulating the appointees, the governor urged them to work hard and contribute their fair share to the success of his administration’s policy initiatives.

Bago stated that the appointments fulfilled his campaign promise to allow women to contribute to the state’s construction.

FG’s palliatives inadequate, unsustainable, says Niger governor

Governor Mohammed Bago of Niger State has cautioned that the palliative measures taken by the Federal Government are insufficient to alleviate the challenges Nigerians face due to the elimination of fuel subsidies.

He suggested that both the government and citizens explore alternative approaches to address the existing economic difficulties in the country, emphasizing that the current subsidy relief is not a viable long-term solution.

The governor issued this advisory during the inauguration of the distribution of agricultural resources to wet-season farmers across the state’s 25 local government areas.

I want to use this medium to thank President Bola Tinubu, the Commander in chief of the Armed Forces of Nigeria, for coming to the aid of vulnerable Nigerians.

But we must be honest with ourselves; the palliative scheme cannot be sustained, we have to go back to the farm to reinflate our economy.

In Niger State, we are poised to make agriculture become the focus of our administration in addressing poverty and food security

The governor pointed out that to realise the policy thrust of his administration, the government would cultivate 10,000 hectares of land in each of the 25 Local Government Areas of Niger State.
