The Tinubu\/Alia Campaign Council, has Citizen Richard Asema as Director-General and Dr Cletus Akwaya, publisher of Daily Asset Newspaper Abuja, as Campaign Council Secretary.<\/p>\n
Speaking during the occasion held Thursday at IBB Square, Makurdi, Governor Alia charged members of the council to demonstrate unity, commitment and dedication, describing their appointments as a reflection of the confidence reposed in them by the party leadership and the people of Benue State.<\/p>\n
The governor, urged party members in the state to put aside personal grievances, embrace reconciliation and work collectively towards securing victory for the APC in the forthcoming elections.<\/p>\n
He described the DG, Citizen Asema, as an experienced political leader with the capacity to coordinate the campaign and deliver the desired result.<\/p>\n
Rolling out his achievements in office, Governor Alia attributed the successes recorded by his administration in security, education, healthcare, infrastructure, agriculture and industrialisation to the cooperation and support of President Bola Tinubu and the Federal Government.<\/p>\n
He particularly acknowledged federal interventions that have strengthened security operations and supported efforts to restore peace to previously troubled communities in the state.<\/p>\n
The governor also listed the recruitment of 9,700 primary school teachers, improvements in public school infrastructure, regular payment of salaries and pensions, road construction and the establishment of agricultural processing facilities among the achievements of his administration, noting that the partnership between the state and the Federal Government had contributed significantly to these developments.<\/p>\n
On infrastructure, the governor disclosed that the effort to connect all 23 local government areas of the state through road networks was nearing completion, with approximately 25 percent of the work remaining.<\/p>\n
He also cited the revival and completion of previously abandoned projects, including Taraku Mills, the International Conference Centre at IBB Square and the Cancer Centre at the Benue State University Teaching Hospital, as evidence of his administration’s commitment to continuity.<\/p>\n
He promised that when re-elected, he would concentrate on consolidating existing achievements rather than starting new projects from scratch.<\/p>\n
According to the governor, the administration has remained committed to implementing its development blueprint since assuming office in 2023, promising to focus on sustaining ongoing initiatives, strengthening completed projects and ensuring that public investments deliver lasting benefits, if re-elected in 2027.<\/p>\n
He stated further that industrialisation, agriculture and strategic investments in education, healthcare and commerce would remain central to his administration’s determination to break the cycle of poverty and expand economic opportunities for the people.<\/p>\n
He expressed confidence that Benue’s enormous agricultural potential, coupled with its emerging oil and gas prospects, could provide the state with the resources needed to build a stronger economy and generate substantial internal revenue, reducing its dependence on federal allocation.<\/p>\n
