Africa-Press – Nigeria. Benue State Governor Rev. Fr. Hyacinth Alia has given March 30, 2026, as the deadline for appointees in his administration who are eyeing elective positions in the forthcoming general elections to resign from their positions.
This was contained in a statement issued on Friday by the Chief Press Secretary to the Governor, Tersoo Kula.
He said the governor is determined to maintain the tempo of development in the state and would not allow anyone to delay any process that would yield results in that regard.
Gov Alia gave this indication on Wednesday while addressing the Muslim faithful he hosted to an iftar (breaking of fast) at the New Banquet Hall of Government House, Makurdi.
He said the earlier those intending to resign tender their resignation letters, the better, as it would give him a clear direction to appoint others to fill the positions and ensure continuity.
Alia emphasised the need for all well-meaning individuals committed to development to join hands with him to sustain the state’s development momentum.
“I invite all people of good conscience to join hands with me so that we can make Benue a place that attracts everybody.
“When you see earthmoving machines working on our hitherto dilapidated roads, that is development. When you see civil servants going to work and closing happily, that is development.
“I have started, I am midway and I am more determined to do more because that was my covenant with the Benue people. I cannot tender apologies to anyone because I am developing Benue State.
“My covenant was with the people of Benue State. My attention is on how to make them happy and how to rewrite the story of the state for good. Therefore, nothing can deter me; nobody can frustrate me to abandon this,” he said.
