Recall that the journey to the approval of the project dates back to 2022, when the Ofachi Area Development Movement paid a visit to the then Kogi State governor, Alhaji Yahaya Adoza Bello and his Commissioner for Rural Development, Daniel Oneh Ejigbo. The Rural Access & Agricultural Marketing Project (RAAMP) was eventually approved but was pended for the succeeding administration.
The current Commissioner for Energy and Rural Development, Hon. Engr. Abdulmutalib Muhammad, also received kudos for the courage and grace to implement the project, thanking him in advance as the project gets underway.
