From Dooshima Terkura, Makurdi

Benue State Governor Rev Fr Hyacinth Alia has sworn-in seven newly appointed commissioners with a charge on them to ensure efficient service delivery with integrity, accountability and always put the public interest first.

Those sworn-in include Hon. Kuma Aii Yenge, Hon. Roy Ashirga Terna, Hon. Angwa Egbe Monday, Hon. Elizabeth Onma Ogenyi, Hon. Solomon Iorpev, Hon. Nick Eworo, and Hon. Ankwa Amo

Speaking during the ceremony today at the Government House, in Makurdi, Governor Alia reminded the commissioners that their emergence was not merely an elevation to public office, but a call to service and opportunity to contribute to the development and prosperity of the state.

He urged them to understand the weight of the responsibility they were assuming, adding that the oath they took was not to serve themselves or any particular interest group, but to serve the people of Benue State.

“Let me equally remind you that public office is temporary, but the legacies you create through your service can endure for generations” he added.

The Governor advised them to be accessible to their people, listen to their concerns, visit their villages, interact with the electorate to understand the reality on ground rather than relying solely on reports.

“I expect you to communicate, cooperate and share ideas. Where one ministry needs the support of another, provide it. Where responsibilities overlap, work together”

While assuring them of his support and cooperation, Governor Alia encouraged them to work together to build a Benue State where good governance is experienced not merely in government offices, but in the daily lives of our people.

Responding on behalf of the newly inaugurated commissioners, Hon. Nick Eworo thanked the Governor for finding them worthy and for trusting them with the responsibility to serve the people of the state.

He pledged the commitment of the team and saying they would be diligent, focused in ensuring that the government of Governor Hyacinth Alia achieves the desire results and delivered the needed Democracy dividends to the people.

Governor Alia also swore Hon. Godwin Anya as Member of the Assembly Service Commission and inaugurated the Chairman Rev. Fr. Patrick Alumuku and Board members of Benue Television.
