Speaking on the development, the lawmaker expressed enthusiasm for a similar initiative proposed in Kogi East, noting that such digital infrastructure is essential for job creation and youth engagement in today’s economy.

“Free Wi-Fi for Kogi Central too. Yesterday, the PDP leadership and I were in the historic Idah Local Government of Kogi’s Eastern District to welcome a number of decampees. Profoundly was the gentleman named Idris HK. Whilst he spoke, he mentioned installing free Wi-Fi in strategic locations across the Eastern District to support content creators with access to the internet,” she declared.

She continued:

“I stood there loving the idea as a necessity to facilitating job creation for our youths. So, in the spirit of collaboration and Kogi Central no dey take last, here’s me pledging to do the same for our beloved Kogi Central.”

According to the senator, discussions with internet service providers will commence promptly, with plans to identify suitable locations for installation and rollout in the near future.

“Internet providers shall be contacted, proper locations identified, and installations done soon,” she assured.

Senator Akpoti-Uduaghan further emphasized the importance of unity and constructive collaboration among the three senatorial districts of the state, Central, East and West over rivalry.

“Here’s cheers to forward-thinking leadership. Cheers to smart collaboration, not unhealthy competition amongst the Central, Eastern, and Western districts of Kogi State. Cheers to our great party, the PDP.”

The proposed initiative is expected to open new opportunities for young people in Kogi Central, particularly those engaged in digital entrepreneurship, social media, and content creation, by providing them with reliable and cost-free internet access.

The move reflects a growing recognition among political leaders of the role digital connectivity plays in economic development and youth empowerment in Nigeria.
