Governor Yahaya Bello of Kogi State has appointed a speech-impaired
young man, Peter Aliyu, as his Special Assistant on Sanitation.
Peter Aliyu is a former cleaner under the Geemoney Cleaning Scheme in Government House in Lokoja who had continued his cleaning work without pay even when the company was said to have laid off all its staff.
Recall that Yahaya Bello had recently given special considerations to people with disabilities by engaging them actively in his government and signed bills that would enhance their welfare in the state. Peter Aliyu’s appointment was confirmed and announced in a statement by the Secretary to the State Government, Dr Folashade Ayoade, amongst 46 other new appointees of the Government.
According to the government, Aliyu’s appointment was borne out of the governor’s observation of his consistency, diligence, and dedication to work on daily basis at the Government House in the state capital.
Meanwhile, Governor Bello, on the other hand, was said to have considered the appointee’s impairment to serve in his government as a means to enlist him and prove that there was ability in disability.
