The PDP governorship candidate made the promise at the party’s mega rally in Lokoja, the state capital on Thursday, November 9, 2023.

“We are going to make Kogi State a tourist attraction. We are going to promote tourism on water, we will invite partners from the whole world to provide infrastructure.

“We will build three-star hotels on water, we will build five-star hotels and this will attract investors from all over the world,” Melaye promised.

“We are going to have the best schools in the world. We will think outside the box, we will develop our education and reform our curriculum.

“ICT and Technology will be produced to all schools in Kogi State because today, ideas rule the world,” he added.

Melaye assured that he will reinstate all the civil servants sacked by the administration of Governor Yahaya Bello.

“I want to announce to the people of Kogi that every civil servant that has been unjustly sacked by Yahaya Bello within three months in office, we will reinstate all of you.”

He also promised to ensure the autonomy of the local governments.
