Gov Hyacinth Alia
Benue State Governor, Rev Hyacinth Alia has Chairmen of Local Government Areas in the state from leaving their Council Headquarters without his authorization.
Local government chairmen will now get approval to leave their council headquarters through the Special Adviser, Bureau for Local Government and Chieftaincy Affairs, BLGCA.
Alia said the decision became necessary to enable them to take full charge of their respective Councils. This is also coming after recent security breaches in some of the LGAs of the state.
The Governor stated that while some of the councils lack proper accommodation for their Chairmen, they must “make alternative accommodation arrangements pending when the state government would fix their lodges.”
The statement added;
“The Chairmen should stay in their Councils and synergies with the locals and the Chiefs as well as security agencies to ensure security in the Councils.”
