Governor Bello Not Happy With The Burning Of Dino Melaye's Constituency Projects, Condemns Act

Burnt School

Governor Yahaya Bello of Kogi State has totally condemned the burning of four of Senator Dino Melaye's constituency projects in Lokoja, the state capital by some hoodlums.

Yesterday there was reports in the media of the burning of two of the secondary schools renovated by Dino Melaye to celebrate his 3rd year in the National Assembly. The school facilities were set ablaze on Tuesday night by yet to be identified hoodlums and Dino had scheduled to commission the projects yesterday Wednesday July 18th.

The Director General, Media and Publicity to the state governor, Kingsley Fanwo, in reacting to the development, spoke on behalf of government during an assessment tour of the burnt facilities, said the state government has directed security operatives to fish out those behind the heinous act.

"Irrespective of who is doing the project, the fund is from the government. So whether it is the executive or legislative, such projects should rather be applauded and not destroyed", he said.

Mrs. Rosemary Osikoya, the state Commissioner for Education, who was among the government officials that visited the sites said government will not rest until those behind this utterly odious act are fished out.

"Exams are ongoing and these building is being used since January 2018. We expect that people will respect the sanctity of education. This act is masterminded and not accidental. The building were burnt including the chairs.

If not for some serving Corps members around who tried to put out the flame, it would have been worse than this. We appeal to everybody to collaborate with us in education and not use it as a melting point for political sabotage. This is a dastard act; the state's interest should be paramount rather than the individual political ego", Mrs Osikoya said.

It could be recalled that Dino Melaye, the Senator representing Kogi West, who is at the center of all these had been on running battle with the state Governor Yahaya Bello. However he is yet to address the press about this new development.
