Represented by the Secretary to the State Government, Dr Folashade Ayoade, the governor noted that Kogi State was the first state in the federation to domesticate the information council at the state level.
He stressed that Kogi had been at the forefront of domesticating every policy of the Federal Government at the state level, and urged the Council to project Kogi in the right way as information officers in the state.
”Information officers are the people that project the state in the right way. We must be able to disseminate the right information to the public at all times,” he said.
He, therefore, urged the information officers to show capacity in their assignment as Public Relations Officers. He commended the Commissioner for Information and Communications, Kingsley Fanwo, for being proactive and always on top of his job.
”There is a need to project the state very well, to let the world know our achievements as a state. You must ask questions before you pass out any information to the public.
The Commissioner for Information and Communications, Mr Kingsley Fanwo, thanked the governor for making the Ministry a fully-fledged ministry and for always supporting it to carry out its mandate without interference.
Fanwo, who doubles as the Council of Information Chairman, commended the SSG for her immense effort and for always giving the right advice to the Ministry which had ensured the inauguration of the Council.
”We are doing a lot in the state, but a lot of people around the country and the world are yet to be aware of all the giant strides of the governor.
”I assure the Governor that the Council shall work together, collaborate and ensure that we deliver on our mandates,” Fanwo restated.
He appealed to the SSG to impress it on all the chairmen of all the local government areas in the state to ensure that all the offices of PROs at the LG level are well funded.
Fanwo emphasised that proper funding of information offices at the LG level would enable the officers to function effectively in projecting the good work of the governor at the grassroots.
Mr Peter Stephen, the Permanent Secretary of the Ministry of Information and Communications will serve as the Secretary of the Council, while the ministry’s Directors and PROs in all the local government areas are members.
