Isah’s performance in Ankpa LG of Kogi
Chance, they say, governs all
things; necessity, which is far from having the same purity, comes only later.
The emergence of Honourable Isah
Abdul as the Chairman, Ankpa Local Government Area of Kogi State is an
interesting tale of destiny. Or how else would one view the story of a seasoned
bureaucrat holding the reins in the stormy, intriguing yet strategically
important entity in the polity of Kogi state?
That is so because Isahis a simple, unassuming and focused civil servant at the local government level, who attained the pinnacle of his career as Director of Local Government.

But as chance would have it,while a
peaceful retirement beckoned, a transition saw him calling the shots in Ankpa
council being the DLG.
This development set a mood of expectations,cynicism and of course skepticism across the council. Again that was so because it is a very difficult task to govern people as this is regarding the council, it becomes even more complicated.

Good a thing, MrIsahdid not
disappoint in the expectations cast upon him; he has proved that cynics only
know the price of everything and the value of nothing.
The skepticism that built up he also
ensured only remained notional to those who so nursed it. He proved, once
again,that with challenges comes a man true mettle.
Through experience and determination
he brought Ankpa council to the dawn of a new era. Juggling pragmatism and
nuance,he was able to calm nerves and restore peace and security in the area by
bringing stability and balance into the political ruling class, traditional
institution and government business.
In the course of time,he built for
himself a reassuring solid track record of administrator par excellence. Little
wonder then when in 2001-2002, Prince Abubakar Audu, a former governor of the
state, appointed him the sole administrator for the council.
During this period too, he displayed
increased obligation to duty and dedication to performance. He is committed to
integrated health and education as well as environmental sanitation.
He is famous for the involvement of
community members and other stakeholders in the playing of key roles for
achievement of developmental objectives.
Needless to say, since becoming DLG,
Isah Abdul face has become a recurring decimal on the threshold of governance
in the council. Following the dissolution of councils in the state by Governor
Idris Wada, he was appointed to the position of liaison officer 1, a position
he continued to occupy until his election as the chairman of the council.
The ambition and strength to move
the council ahead on a sustainable course of growth is a necessity to which he
must rise in order to justify the people trust and meet their yearnings.
