My Dear People of Dekina,
As we celebrate the joyous resurrection of our Lord Jesus Christ this Easter season, I extend to you warm greetings filled with hope, renewal, and divine favor. Easter reminds us that through faith and sacrifice, darkness gives way to light, and despair is transformed into hope.
In this spirit of resurrection, I call on every Dekina son and daughter to unite behind our administration in a renewed commitment to peace, unity, and development. Together, we have laid the foundation for meaningful progress in education, healthcare, infrastructure, and youth empowerment. Now more than ever, your support and active participation are vital as we work hand in hand to deepen those gains and deliver on our shared vision for a thriving Dekina.
I also urge you to stand firmly with the people‑centered administration of His Excellency, Governor Ahmed Usman Ododo. Under his visionary leadership, Kogi State is embracing transparency, inclusive growth, and social welfare. By aligning our local efforts with the Governor’s policies and programmes, we will amplify our collective strength and ensure that every community in Dekina benefits from the Governor’s transformative agenda.
To our Christian brothers and sisters, Easter is a powerful reminder of the spirit of sacrifice that Christ demonstrated on our behalf. I encourage you to imbibe that same spirit in our nation‑building journey. Let us each offer our time, talents, and resources to uplift the vulnerable, reconcile divisions, and build institutions that serve the common good. As we reflect on Christ’s ultimate act of love, may we be moved to acts of kindness and service that will leave a lasting legacy for future generations.
May the blessings of this Easter season fill your homes with peace, your hearts with joy, and your lives with renewed purpose. Let us go forward together—stronger, more united, and more determined than ever—to write the next chapter of progress for Dekina Local Government Area.
Have a blessed and meaningful Easter.
Yours sincerely,
Hon. John Urah Ikani
Executive Chairman
Dekina Local Government Area
