Kogi Govt House media team undergo training on ethics
Members of the media team covering Kogi State Government House, have benefitted from training on ethical conduct expected of them in the discharge of their duties.
The training which was organized by a Non-Governmental Organisation, the Centre for Ethics and Self Value Orientation (CESVO), took place at the Government House in Lokoja, at the instance of the Special Adviser on Media to the Governor of Kogi State, Hon. Ismaila Isah.
Speaking during the training, the Executive Director of the organization, Prince Salihu Yakubu emphasized the importance of integrity and emotional intelligence in public service.
He described the media team as a critical link between government and the people, noting that the training was designed to enhance professionalism and improve service delivery in all aspects of professional life.
“This training fulfills the promise we made during our award presentation to support the media office through capacity building. We are impressed by the leadership of Hon. Ismaila Isah, and this initiative is a testament to his ethical responsibility and commitment to excellence,”he stated.
Prince Yakubu, who is also the founder of the Nigeria Youth Parliament covered seven key areas of workplace ethics during the training.
The areas covered include emotional intelligence, workplace ethics, leadership conduct, and team synergy.
According to him, the goal is to nurture a culture of ethical responsibility and teamwork among the staff.
“Our aim is to build the capacity of the media team to function effectively, foster healthy working relationships, and set the office apart as a model of ethical leadership in service to the people of Kogi State”.
He also stressed the importance of removing personal sentiments from professional responsibilities, urging staff to adopt a nationalistic mindset in their service to the state.
He further recommended the adoption of a formal staff code of conduct to guide operations and strengthen accountability within the media office.
In a goodwill message delivered on behalf of Hon. Ismaila Isah, the Chief Press Secretary to the Speaker of the Kogi State House of Assembly, Yabagi Mohammed, expressed gratitude to CESVO for what he described as a well-rounded and impactful training.
“This 7-unit course will not only boost productivity but also improve the overall atmosphere of the workplace, making the media team more effective and cohesive,” he said.
Similarly, Senior Special Assistant on Print Media to the Kogi State First Lady, Muhammed Ohikwo, commended the initiative and acknowledged the efforts of Hon. Ismaila Isah in creating an enabling environment for ethical reflection and professional development among members of the media team.
The training was part of CESVO’s ongoing initiative to instill ethical values and enhance the delivery of public service through strategic capacity building.
Highlight of the event was the presentation of certificate to all the trainees with a charge for them to be ambassadors of ethical standards in public service and professional conduct.
The David Mark-led faction of the African Democratic Congress (ADC) has approached the Court of Appeal to challenge the Federal High Court judgement that removed its leadership.
The opposition party also disclosed that it had filed an application seeking a stay of execution of the judgement pending the hearing and determination of its appeal.
The party made this known in a statement on Friday, November 6, adding that it had formally notified the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) of the legal steps taken,
The appeal is against the judgement delivered by the Federal High Court in Abuja on November 5, 2026, in Suit No. FHC/ABJ/CS/1619/2025, involving Hon. Nafiu Bala Gombe and the ADC.
The party urged INEC to refrain from taking any further action on the matter until the Court of Appeal has considered the case.
It argued that the application for a stay of execution was yet to be decided and that the electoral commission should not take any step that could affect the outcome of the appeal.
According to the ADC, it expects INEC to respect the ongoing legal process and allow the appellate court to hear the matter before making any decision connected to the judgement.
The statement partly read, “The ADC is exercising its lawful right to appeal. The judgement is now being challenged before a higher court, and the legal process must be allowed to run its course.
“We expect INEC to uphold the law and take full account of the pending proceedings before making any consequential decisions.”
The party also urged its members and supporters to remain calm, insisting that the court judgement would not stop its political activities.
It said its campaigns would continue while it explored all available legal options to defend its position.

The Federal High Court in Abuja has nullified the leadership of the African Democratic Congress (ADC) led by Senator David Mark, declaring the caretaker committee that oversaw the party’s affairs illegal and invalidating all decisions taken by the committee.
The judgment, delivered on Thursday by Justice Peter Lifu, also affects the presidential primary that produced former Vice President Atiku Abubakar as the ADC’s flag bearer for the 2027 general elections.
Atiku, whose name had earlier been published by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) as the party’s presidential candidate, had already selected former Rivers State Governor, Rotimi Amaechi, as his running mate.
The ruling followed a suit instituted by Nafiu Bala Gombe, a former National Deputy Chairman (North-East) of the ADC, who challenged the process through which the David Mark-led leadership assumed control of the party.
Gombe argued that following the resignation of the party’s former National Chairman, Chief Ralph Nwosu, he was constitutionally entitled to take over the leadership.
He consequently asked the court to invalidate all actions undertaken by the Mark-led leadership and restrain Senator Mark and Ogbeni Rauf Aregbesola from presenting themselves as the party’s National Chairman and National Secretary, respectively.
The plaintiff maintained that their emergence violated the ADC constitution and relevant provisions of the Electoral Act.
In suit No. FHC/ABJ/CS/1819/2025, the ADC, INEC, Senator David Mark, Aregbesola and Chief Ralph Nwosu were listed as defendants.
Justice Lifu upheld Gombe’s claims and granted the reliefs sought, effectively invalidating the authority of the caretaker committee and decisions taken under its leadership.
The verdict is expected to trigger fresh political uncertainty within the ADC, particularly over Atiku’s presidential ambition and the party’s preparations for the January 16, 2027 presidential election.
However, the party has vowed to challenge the judgment at the appellate court.
