Benue State Governor, Rev. Fr. Hyacinth Alia has assured the people of Benue State that his administration will continue to build on the very firm foundations of development which it has laid, especially in the areas of agriculture, education, economy, infrastructure, youth empowerment, social welfare, poverty alleviation, promising that the state has not seen anything yet in terms of development under his watch.

The Governor stated this on Wednesday in a New Year address to the people of the State.

He said the year 2025 presented an opportunity for his administration to be even better than where it was in the last year,

This was contained in a statement by the Chief Press Secretary to the Governor, Tersoo Kula.

“As a state and as a people, the New Year celebration marks the consolidation of our renewed hope, new possibilities and opportunities for us to improve our standard of living.

“We are not only working towards making our state a hub of industrial and economic activities; we are also determined to realize a Benue that sustainably breathes the air of premium quality healthcare services agreeing with global best practices.”

Gov Alia commended the people of the State for their faith in his administration despite challenges, assuring further that the 2025 budget for ‘Human Capital Development, Food Security and Digital Economy’ promises more for the people of the state.

He said he was aware of reservations from a few individuals about his style of leadership of not spraying money on the streets, insisting he was more concerned about using the monies for projects that will benefit every Benue citizen.

“I am very much aware of a few expected pockets of reservations about my administration’s style of leadership, a style which is not keen on spraying monies on the streets for the masses to feed on and go hungry the next day.

“My administration instead, is more concerned with creating a system that benefits every individual and group in Benue – rich or poor, young or old, white or black. We are more determined to use those resources to build institutions, facilities, infrastructure, policies and enabling environments that are breeding grounds for growth irrespective of tribe, race or religion,” stated the Governor.

He urged the people of the state to reflect on his style of leadership and take a stand on what they believe is the best possible path towards a new, greater and better Benue.
