Kogi residents groan over hike in house rent as ‘Yahoo Boys’ flood city

Housing deficit is causing untold hardship on the people of Kogi State amid the present economic hardship in the country.

Kogi, which shares boundaries with about 10 states in the country, is hosting the popular River Niger and River Benue.

The strategic location of the state has made people settle down quickly since it was created in 1991 under the then Military regime of General Ibrahim Badamisi Babangida.

The issues of housing before now were a little bit fair for both the indigenes and civil servants working with the Federal and the State governments.

Unfortunately, it is now a nightmare for people who do not have their own house to get accommodation.

Some governors built houses for civil servants to ameliorate their sufferings.
