Gov Alia Swears-in 7 Commissioners

Benue State Governor Rev. Fr. Hyacinth Alia has sworn-in seven newly appointed commissioners, urging them to serve the people and not themselves or any particular interest group.

Alia, who swore in the commissioners in Makurdi yesterday, tasked them to act with integrity and always put the public interest first.

He told them that their emergence was not merely an elevation to public office, but a call to service and opportunity to contribute to the development of the state.

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

The governor further advised them to be accessible to their people, listen to their concerns and 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,” he said.

While assuring them of his support and cooperation, 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 commissioners, Nick Eworo thanked the governor for trusting them with the responsibility to serve and promised to be diligent and ensure fairness and accountability in the discharge of their duties.
Those sworn-in include, Kuma Aii Yenge, Roy Ashirga Terna, Angwa Egbe Monday, Elizabeth Onma Ogenyi, Solomon Iorpev, Nick Eworo and Ankwa Amo.
