MY ADMINISTRATION HAS GIVEN ITS FULL BLESSINGS TO LOCAL GOVERNMENT AUTONOMY- ALIA
Monday, March 25th, 2024
Benue State Governor, Rev. Fr. Hyacinth Alia, has said his administration has given full blessings to the autonomy of the 23 Local Government Areas in the state, with adequate plans also outlined to open up the rural areas to enable rural economies to thrive.
The governor stated this on Monday, at the Royal Choice Inn, Makurdi, while declaring open a Two-Day workshop put together by the Bureau of Local Government and Chieftaincy Affairs in conjunction with Timarage Nigeria Limited, for chairmen and members of the local government interim Executives in the state.
He said his administration has equally mapped out strategic projects and programmes for execution and implementation in all the Local Government Areas, saying by the time the projects and programmes are completed, the chequered history of the rural areas in the state will be completely reversed.
“I am happy to State that my administration has given its full blessings to the autonomy of our Local Governments. Funds due to the Local Governments will be promptly. We are therefore, committed to the growth and development of the system and have outlined adequate plans to open up the rural areas to enable rural economies to thrive.
“Distinguished invited guests, already, I have mapped out strategic projects and programmes which we are due to start execution and implementation in all the Local Government Areas. It is hoped that by the time we complete these projects and programmes, the chequered history of our rural areas will be completely reversed. The economies of our rural areas will witness tremendous growth and this will positively impact on the people,” the governor assured.
While stressing the pivotal role the local government system plays in the development process of the Nation, the governor appealed to all Local Government committees to intensify efforts towards increasing their internally generated revenue, so as to boost their capacity to provide for the welfare of their people.
He urged the council chairmen to ensure they remain closer to their people and to also uphold accountability, integrity and transparency in their work, as according to him, those are central to his administration.
He charged them to embrace synergy and team work to enable them to collectively achieve their goals.
Earlier in his address, the Special Adviser to the Governor on Local Government and Chieftaincy Affairs, Hon. Dennis Akura, said the essence of the workshop is to build the knowledge of the Chairmen and Members of the Local Government Interim Executive Committees, equipping them with a better understanding of their roles for effective service delivery at the Third Tier of Government.
He urged the participants to take full advantage of the workshop so that in the end, they will be able to support the efforts of the governor at the grassroots level.
The Two Day Workshop with the theme “Responsive Local Government Leadership for Effective Local Government Administration in Benue State,” has been put together for Caretaker Chairmen, their Deputies, Director General Services and Administration (DGSAs) as well as the Local Government Supervisors.

The Desperation to Set Gov. Alia on Collusion course with APC National Leadership
Wednesday, March 27th, 2024
In response to a recent allegation emanating from very familiar sources within the ranks of the allied forces against development in Benue State, doctored and aired on a pseudo “Anchor TV”, we wish to categorically refute the insinuations that the Executive Governor of Benue State, Rev. Fr. Hyacinth Alia, has called for the resignation of the All Progressives Congress, APC, National Chairman, His Excellency, Alhaji Abdullahi Umar Ganduje OFR.
These claims, originating from what can only be described as a propagandist evil pot, with a devious aim to wreck the sound relationship between Alia and the National Leadership of the APC led by Alh. Umar Ganduje are baseless and lack any factual merit.
It is imperative to clarify that at no point did Governor Alia assembled, attended, sent a representative or participated in any meeting to discuss the removal or call for resignation of the national chairman of the most populous party in Africa, His Excellency, Alh. Abdullahi Umar Ganduje.
The Benue State Governor remains firm in his support and allegiance to the leadership of the National Working Committee of the APC, under the leadership of Alhaji Ganduje.
Furthermore, at no point, whether publicly or privately, has the Governor advocated for or expressed any desire for the resignation of the National party chairman.
We urge members of the idle opposition, both within and without, who seems ready to devote all of their energies to fabricating falsehoods, to change course and channel these energies into substantive and constructive discourse rather than resorting to such frivolous and distracting tactics.
Governor Alia is a Reverend Gentleman, very focused and determined to continue in his deliberate efforts to changing the fortunes of Benue State. He is alive to his responsibilities as the leader of APC in Benue State and is doing everything legitimate to reposition the party for future victories.
