Alia nominates six commissioners as ex-council members exit

Benue State Governor Rev Fr Hyacinth Alia has submitted the names of six potential commissioners to the state House of Assembly for their review and approval. These individuals are set to fill the positions left vacant by some executive council members who chose to run for elected office during the primary elections. Zape Upaa, the Chief Press Secretary to the Speaker of the Assembly, announced this development in a statement released on Tuesday.

According to the statement, the governor's decision aims to bolster the State Executive Council and bring fresh talent and skills to the administration. The nominees consist of Kuma Aii Yenge, Roy Ashirga Terna, Angwa Egbe Monday, Elizabeth Onma Ogenyi, Solomon Iorpev, and Nick Eworo. Governor Alia requested the House to swiftly and positively evaluate the nominees, in line with its constitutional duty.

This move comes as the Alia administration works to strengthen its cabinet and the overall administration in Benue State to ensure effective service delivery.
