Eganyi Explorers, a group of enthusiastic youth hailing from Ajaokuta Local Government Area in Kogi State, conceived the idea of exploring local tourist sites three years ago. Their inaugural year involved a hike to the picturesque Iruvusechi mountain, followed by an exploration of the abandoned airstrip at Upanko in the second year. This year, their journey led them to Inida Ogiri, all within Ajaokuta LGA.

It is unwavering devotion to a friend, a vow, or a cause. This is exactly the personae of a servant who stood reliably and outstandingly with his principal from the days of aspirations to The New Direction Government and The Let’s Do More administration. And that faithful servant who is incontrovertibly unassuming is Alhaji Ododo Ahmed Usman the candidate of APC in the November Governorship elections.
