In an official statement released on Thursday by Odeh Ageh, the Benue State Commissioner of Information, the State Executive Council has officially approved that every week Friday would be made a work-free day to enable workers in the state to work on their farms.
He announced that the work-free day would commence from Friday, 10th June, and would last till the end of July, 2016.
The State Governor, Samuel Ortom, who chaired the 16th session of the meeting at which the decision was taken, explained that the objective was to enable as many workers as possible to produce food to feed their families in the current economic downturn which has made the regular payment of salaries a major challenge.
The governor also announced that he would take a two-week vacation which was part of his annual leave from Monday, June 13th to work on his farm while the Deputy Governor, Benson Abounu, would act on his behalf during the period.

k

What those Benue farmers want is not a work free day,
But a Fulani free day.

Benue people have suffered so much in the hands of those terrorist herdsmen.
Get rid of 'em,
So that your people can finally have peace of mind.

Imagine making every Friday an automatic holiday.

Was that really necessary? This will directly affect people who need services from government On Fidsys. The government is essentially shut down 3 days in a week. This may affect productivity

What's the essence of farming when you know your master's cow won't let it grow? Talk abt misplaced priority. Ortom or what's his name is just a coward I swear. Do ur people need farm free day to farm knowing that they are the food basket of the nation? Stop thinking with your anus, man up and chase the cows outta ur state.

Hmmm back to the basis.

Clueless leaders in 2016, nearly 17 years of democracy. But hey, when OBJ and Buhari are among the civilian presidents then what do you expect, along with private jet pastors everywhere

Another massacre looming oh

A bold step in the right direction. The agrarian state is consolidating on its position.

Not bad

Have they considered the ripple effect of dis MOVE?

PDP may just have to return to power!
