IGALA HISTORY

LET'S BREAK IT DOWN

1. IDAH LGA – ROAD PROJECT
What I know.
7.2km Idah township roads under construction
Roads linking:
Igalaogba
Sabongari
Ukwaja
Flagged off June 2025 by Kogi State Government
Kogi State Government, This is a STATE GOVERNMENT PROJECT, not executed by the LG chairman.
2. ANKPA LGA – ROAD DEVELOPMENT
What I know
Ongoing township road construction in Ankpa
Upgraded urban road network
Again, largely state / World Bank-supported projects, not LG-funded.
3. DEKINA / OLAMABORO / OMALA – RURAL ROAD PROJECTS
What I know
Rural access roads across:
Dekina
Olamaboro
Omala
These are funded through:
World Bank (RAAMP)
Federal partnerships
State government
WHAT THIS MEANS they are, Visible big projects in Kogi East:
Roads in Idah
Roads in Ankpa
Rural roads in Dekina, Omala, Olamaboro

80–90% of these are:
State government projects
Federal / donor-funded projects
My question
WHERE ARE THE LG CHAIRMAN PROJECTS?
This is the honest truth:
What LG chairmen actually do mostly
Boreholes
Classroom renovations
Small culverts
Minor grading of roads

FINAL TRUTH

Development in Kogi East is driven mainly by:
State government
Federal lawmakers
International projects
If you judge by LG funding of ₦4B–₦7B yearly
You SHOULD see:
Major roads
Hospitals
Schools

All The Local Government Chairmen In Kogi East Must Account For The Huge Federal Accommodation
