Gov. Hyacinth Alia of Benue says the state government will award contracts for the construction 50 roads to be completed in the next 12 months.

Alia made the announcement on Tuesday during the All Progressives Congress (APC) Critical Stakeholders Meeting, held at the Government House in Makurdi.
He said the Ministry of Works and Urban Development was working on the details of the project, which was meant to ease movement and transportation of agricultural produce to improve the economy.

He said the ongoing construction of the two underpass in Makurdi and Gboko would be completed in the coming months.
Alia added that work on the 16 roads in Makurdi and within Zone A, as well as renovation of the 40 years old State Secretariat, and the State Assembly has reached 90 per cent completion.
The governor also said the administration would strive to greatly address the issue of postharvest losses, so that farmers would smile to the bank.

He said agriculture was not just a way of life but a means of livilihood and urged all citizens to embrace it.
Alia added that in the coming weeks, the government would unveil a security outfit of 10,000 personnel to improve security in the state.

He also said the long abandoned students scholarship would be reintroduced in May.
Alia told the APC stakeholders that Tiv Traditional Rulers had reconciled him and the Secretary to the Government of the Federation (SGF), Sen. George Akume.

He said that during the meeting both of them spoke from their hearts and resolved all issues.
“If you are day dreaming of the division of the APC in Benue, wake up, the train of the APC is one, moving and moving fast.

“We were invited by our Tiv Traditional fathers to find out about what they kept reading in the news about the issues between us.

We spoke from our hearts and they advised us, they initiated peace that was near eluding us, I embraced my big brother the SGF, and behold there was peace.

“So, let no one from any quarter be deceived that APC in the state is divided, no we are not; under my leadership as a man of peace, there must be peace,” he added.

In his remarks, Sen. Barnabas Gemade said elders in the state have unanimously passed a vote of confidence on the governor.
Gemade said as elders, all they needed to do now was to advise the younger ones to succeed.

Also, Mr Hingah Biem, commended the governor for the strides in infrastructural development and urged him to do more.
Earlier, the Acting State Chairman of APC, Mr Benjamin Omakolo, said the party has been united.

He assured that the APC would provide level playing ground to all aspirants for the forthcoming council polls.

Yeah, he should stop waiting for the FG that isn't ready to address the problem and use all the available resources in Benue to address this menace, the state security outfit that was setup under Ortom should be empowered to do their jobs well

You're calling the person useless for saying the obvious. Whether the writer voted for him or not, he is the governor of Benue state and the constitution empower him to serve the entire Benue not segment of Benue. He is one year in office, every development ought to be spread in the entire Benue. Stop defending the obvious. Nothing last for ever

See, judge the governor after his tenure. What has he done in my local government so far?, nothing, am not complaining, I believe he will surely touch every local government. Since 1999, no progress in the state. The governor is not a magician to turn around the fortunes of the states within a year. It will take years, not even 8 years will do.
If we are to start talking about tribalism, David Mark is guilty of that...

Are you mad Did you even read what I wrote? When people from benue state are talking, a fool from the waste bin will be talking. You better stay clear of my mentioned before alekwu will damage your life ejiot
