Yeah, but I'm serious man, the two local government of Oju and Obi are free from herdsmen madness in Benue


It's not every part of Benue that is under attack

Very good development. Nigeria will be great again

Welcome development

COMRADES are speechless, well let's see how it goes

We need manufacturing industries , turn churches and mosque into warehouse to accommodate machines

If those in charge do the right thing, this would be beneficial to the benue people and others.

If it will benefit the common man, e go enter voice mail. At best, the development will be undertaken in mediocre fashion, a family member or business associate gaining financial wealth from an overbloated budget. The masses will not experience the theoretical benefits associated with the project. Just another day in Nigeria.

Re

Bill just full everywhere

We need manufacturing industries

then build them

How will students study, when herdsmen and cultist are on the loose. I pity the student because some may end up regretting.

The best and most impactful NASS in Nigeria’s history

With this school establishing bills trend, by 2027 each towns in this country will have at least one higher institution. And certificate go full everywhere.

Everybody must collect goodies. God bless Nigeria

Misplaced priorities

Federal govt has many substandard schools littered all over the federation, producing nothing no infrastructure zero education. Yet you want to create another empty institution that won't be funded. Why not use the money to invest in already existing institutions. Let Nigeria have even one top University it can be proud of.

FG needs to remove tertiary education from its responsibilities. The best they should do is give the funding directly to the states, cause the amount of tertiary institutions popping up is becoming too much.

Today today if FG stops funding these institutions 80% of them would fail.

Talk about AI in a country where kidnappers take a hostage, keep the hostage for as long they want without security officers knowing where the hostage and kidnappers are.

cadris:
Why are we making AI look like a big deal when the world is already Ai like school kids toy in 2025

why are you like this? Waiting for dead brain like that will like your comment

Why taken such institute to remote area like oju? Don't get me wrong, I don't have any issue with ngede people of oju and obi but the neglect that area has suffered from Benue state is legendary. The two road that lead from Otukpo and makurdi axis to that area can be regarded as the worst in this country. I went there to do business 2 times, I ended suffering huge loss because of the terrible state of the road.

But why would herdsmen attack any local government area in Benue State and in rest of Nigeria?

Thank you our amiable senator unlike that fraud that hates Igede people.

Dem go chop the money

Oju has no road leading to it. So what's the point? The road leading to Oju is one of the worst in Nigeria.
