“As an agency, we have asssessed the operations of the association and discovered that they are well organized and very committed in adding up value to the economic development of Kogi,

“We are engaging them by this time because at the planning stage, we need to carry along beneficiaries already identified for scientific approach in achieving results, ” she explained.

Earlier, the Chairman, GSM Association, Mr Mohammed Idris, told the MD that he and his team were in her office to interface with her on partnership and how to contribute their quota to the economic development of the state.
