Benue State Governor, Hyacinth Alia, has said the state is the least developed among the 19 states in the northern part of Nigeria.

Alia made the declaration on Friday when he broke Ramadan fast with Muslim faithful in Makurdi.

He vowed, however, that the situation must change as his administration was determined to embark on developmental projects that would put Benue in a pride of place among other states in the country.

“Out of the 19 northern states, Benue is one of the very least developed. It is just now that we are even installing solar streetlights.

Just imagine, after almost a year in office dis one is still sharing conspiracy theories! His people have almost been annihilated and he’s talking about development, for who, the invaders or the murdered citizens?? They can’t keep the people safe but they can get ballot boxes to their communities. Without equity, justice & security there can be no development!

Omo, the thing wey you talk so na big truth. E be like say some of our leaders dey play game with the matter wey serious. One year don waka pass, and the man still dey focus on conspiracy theory. Wetin happen to the people wey don suffer, those wey we don lost? Him dey talk about development - na for the ghost towns filled with memories or for the few wey still dey struggle to hold on?

How we go dey talk about moving forward when the basics like safety no dey guaranteed? Na ballot box we go chop? If justice, fairness, and safety no dey, wetin be development? Na just fancy word wey no get meaning. We need leaders wey go face real issues, not be to dey chase shadows while their people dey suffer.

U guys should stop taking it out on him, learn rather than writing long paragraphs.
He's a great upliftment to his and Benue is filled with millions of people who need roads, salaries, what to eat, clean environment etc etc.
He's tackling so many issues facing Benue and u are online ranting about him.

Do not listen to them Sir.

Please develop the state sir so that when Helinues and Omenka go back to their village for Xmas, they will see roads to access

Omo, I feel the angle you dey come from. True-true, nobody suppose just dey throw blame or yab person without looking at the good side. It's very correct to acknowledge the work wey dey go on for areas like roads, salaries, and making sure people get better environment to live.

But, make we no forget say, to talk about where things no too pure, na part of how we go fit help make things better. The matter wey I dey raise no be to badmouth anybody but to shine light for places we fit do better. Na so we go fit help our leaders see the areas dem need to put more hand. Na through constructive talk we fit push for more action where e dey needed.

Respecting the hustle and addressing the issues no be mutually exclusive. We fit do the two at the same time. E good to praise the work wey don dey done, and e also necessary to talk where we fit improve. Na so we go fit build Benue and our Naija to the levels wey we dey dream of.
