Benue State governor, Rev. Fr. Dr. Hyacinth Iormem Alia, has expressed his appreciation to President Bola Ahmed Tinubu (GCFR), for the wonderful support and provision of personnel and logistics to tackle insecurity in the state.
Gov. Alia while welcoming a new set of security personnel deployed to the state on Monday, expressed satisfaction with the level of support he is receiving from the President.
“Benue State and I, remains profoundly appreciative of the tremendous and continued support from President Bola Ahmed Tinubu (GCFR) in our trying times”.
Presenting the situation in the state to the personnel, Gov. Alia said, “I charged you to put in your best to ensure that complete peace is restored in the state, especially considering its position as the food basket of the nation”.
Governor Alia also thanked the heads of security agencies in the state and called on them to continue their good work, noting with gratitude, the recent rescue of the Utonkon 9 children as an example. He urged them to maintain the same spirit until the state is rid of all forms of insecurity.
He also implored the operatives to ensure adequate security for the workers contracted to construct the Nyihemba-Abande road, which is meant to ease movement and reduce response time in instances of distress calls.
The Governor, who stated that democracy remains the bedrock of any meaningful development, stirred the officers to deploy adequate security for the safe conduct of the upcoming APC congresses. He restated his commitment to good governance and encouraged all Benue sons and daughters to stand by him in the task of leading Benue out of the woods of underdevelopment.
