This review showcases both its accomplishments and the roadmap ahead in shaping a brighter future for Benue State.
The Honourable Commissioner revealed this on a WhatsApp platform known as Akweya Youth Mentors on Tuesday, April 2, 2024.
“As the tenure of Reverend Father Alia’s administration reaches ten months, the pulse of Benue State beats with anticipation and assessment. Amidst high expectations, the government embarked on a journey to reshape the socio-economic landscape, pledging to tackle governance inefficiencies, stimulate growth, and uplift the populace,” he stated.
Mr. Oglegba highlighted infrastructure overhaul as one of the milestones achieved.
