ALIA SWEARS IN LOCAL GOVERNMENT CARETAKER COMMITTEE CHAIRMEN, CHARGES THEM ON QUALITY SERVICE DELIVERY

Friday, June 7th, 2024.

Governor Hyacinth Alia, has charged the Local Government Chairmen in the state, to ensure they deliver quality services to the people at the local level.

The governor gave the charge during the swearing in ceremony of the local government caretaker committee chairmen, held at the Benue State Government House Makurdi, on Thursday, June 6th, 2024.

Recall that the governor had written to the Benue State House of Assembly, requesting for extension of the tenure of the caretaker committees to allow the Benue State Independent Electoral Commission (BSIEC), enough time to prepare and conduct the local government council elections in the state.

The State House of Assembly had on Thursday, screened and confirmed the list of nominees sent to them by the governor, replacing only Mr. Timothy Hembaor, the earlier nominee from Ushongo Local government area, with Hon. Mvendaga Atetan.

The governor had while performing the swearing-in ceremony, charged the Chairmen to forfeit excuses and serve their local government areas diligently, in order to ensure their work reflects the manifesto of the All Progressives Congress (APC), in the state.

He urged them to give their best, especially as his administration has granted autonomy to the local governments, asking them to remain at their various duty posts, attending to the needs of the local people and ensuring they enjoy the dividends of democracy.

He challenged them to copy the infrastructural strides at the state level down to the local government level, saying it is his administration’s plan to ensure such infrastructural developments are replicated at the third tier of government in the state.

Responding on behalf of the Chairmen, the Caretaker Chairman of Konshisha Local government area, Hon. Philip Achuah, assured the governor that they will do their best to replicate his efforts at the local government level.

He appreciated the governor for granted quasi autonomy to the local government system in the state, promising not fail in their respective duties.

The newly inaugurated Caretaker Committee Chairmen are Hon. Guda Terkimbi Dennis (Vandeikya), Hon. Philip Achuah (Konshisha), Hon. Shaku Justine (Katshina Ala), Hon. Neji Vitalis Terhile (Kwande), Hon. Avar Verlumun (Gboko), Hon. Roy Terna Ashirga (Tarkaa), Hon. Agber Cephas (Buruku), Hon. James Dwem (Makurdi), Hon. Mrs Comfort Agbo (Gwer East), Hon. Henry Agba (Gwer-West), Hon. Unongo Simon (Guma) Hon. Mvendaga Atetan (Ushongo) and Hon. Iorzaa Victor (Ukum).

This is what the useless government wants. Installing CTCs in LGAs within their state in order to continue mismanagement of LGA funds in collaboration with their cronies.

At present, God will punish all the state governors in Nigeria who are embezzling funds meant for the development of the state and also who are hell bent on paying peanuts as Minimum Wage despite the increased allocations from FAAC.

Nobody is installing anybody…
It was due to delay in the election that these guys were appointed however election is coming up….
In Benue Gov. Alia is after the best✌️

Okay

Them Carry bible like say them no go do the opposite 😂

That's My governor on the beat.
Long live Benue
Long live Anambra
Long live Nigeria.

Even this one that is a priest cannot try and be different from ordinary politicians. What will it take him to conduct proper elections in each local government? Man is already moving like Wike and co.

They wont even allow them be independent, that one they are saying about LGA autonomy wont work at all.

The next care taker committee chairmen to be sworn in is in Rivers State. Fubara no dulling

I hear say Tinubu fall, na true ? . I sell quality trousers, see my thread for update

When the full benefits of autonomy is around the corner.
Pastor, I sight you.

What does it take to conduct a common local government election? And they call this one a rev. Father. All politicians are the same, it's in their DNA only fools see one as Mr Saint and others devils.

Best governor Soo far, not that over hype otti that Ipob are praising

When there are delays in State Elections does the FG install Caretaker committees for the State until such a time when Elections are held?

The practice has been that, the incumbent would continue until such a time the people return to the polls and Elect a new leader.

They have been appointed as a slave to the governor cos they must not be only loyal but act as sheep

I thought Governor Alia, being a reverend father, will be different.
Apparently, all goverors are the same with regards to their desire to have a firm grip on their state's political structures by planting loyal appointees as caretaker local government chairmen

Omenlon:
yes, but he got up to his feet. Any other question?

Hope he is alright, because I really care about my president

Alia, ensure to conduct elections and allow the grassroots maximum autonomy. God bless you.

Sim Fubara will do his own next week, let us see what will happen to the man that said he will not leave his office after his tenure ends

So house of assembly can extend tenure,so why is Fubara running up and down?

Ask google

This is the nonsense the AGF suit at the Supreme court wants to stop.

LG Executives should be elected by the citizens and not handpicked

It'll cost him the money he would have embezzled.
Election or selection, he'll still lamba their funds.

The constitution should be adjusted to reduce the power a governor has over local government administration. A governor shouldn't be allowed to select a leader of another arm of government

All dis state governors r practicing autocracy.... Will they be happy if the president interfares in their respective states?
