Hyacinth Alia, governor of Benue State, in less than 48 hours after dissolving the Benue State Executive Council and appointing former two-term Attorney General of the state and Commissioner for Justice, Moses Atagher as new Chief of Staff, has transmitted the first batch of commissioner-nominees to the Benue State House of Assembly for screening and confirmation in line with constitutional provisions.
Governor Alia, who made this known through a press statement signed by his Chief Press Secretary, Tersoo Kulas, explained that the development marks a significant step in the enhancement of the machinery of governance and ensuring effective service delivery across various sectors.
The nominees in the first batch, which included Theresa Odachi Ikwue, Benjamin Ashaver, Adamu Margaret Ijaguwa, Peter Oboh Egbodo and Yangien Timothy Ornguga, also have Denis Iyaighgba, James Dwem and Paul Ejeh Ogwuche.
The governor emphasised that the second batch of nominees was expected to be forwarded to the House of Assembly in a matter of days.
He reaffirmed his administration’s commitment to transparency, competence, and inclusivity in the selection of individuals who will drive his vision and mission for the state.
