Everyone appointed to a political position in Benue State by Governor Hyacinth Iormem Alia who plans to run for office in the general election of 2027 must retire by March 30, 2026, at the latest.
In a statement released on Friday, his Chief Press Secretary Tersoo Kula stated that the decision is made to keep the state’s growth momentum going. The directive is detailed in the statement.
A seamless transfer and the avoidance of interruptions to governance will be achieved, the governor emphasised in his statement, by his early departure.
He went on to say that his government will not let partisan interests derail ongoing projects.
Alia also emphasised the need of stakeholders and inhabitants backing his plans for the state’s development and improvement.
He urged all individuals with a good conscience to work together with him in order to transform Benue into an inviting destination for all.
Infrastructure development and enhanced welfare for public servants were among the accomplishments mentioned by the governor.
The use of earthmoving equipment to repair our crumbling roads is a sign of progress. Observing public officials cheerfully beginning and ending their workdays is a sign of progress.
That was my promise to the people of Benue, so now that I’m halfway through, I’m even more committed to finishing the job. The development of Benue state prevents me from apologising to anyone.
My oath was to the inhabitants of Benue State. Finding ways to make them happy is my top priority. Methods for permanently altering the state’s narrative. It follows that I will not be discouraged or swayed to give up on this, he declared.
His administration will continue to prioritise policies and initiatives that enhance the lives of the people, he reiterated.
