This is a very good initiative especially for the lazy BENUE youths who believe so much in cultism and stealing from non Tiv people around them.

Efforts should equally be made to start discouraging them from too much believe in " makwa
Yakwa
Kpakwa...... meaning (eat, drink and Bleep)
They are blessed with arable land and should not have anything to do with unemployment

This is commendable from Benue government. They should make sure it's a transparent process.

Brilliant

Laughing, something that is just wasting here in the southern region.
