The governor-elect said the state's civil service is in a state of near collapse and in Intensive Care Unit (ICU), but he has come to infuse life into it and keep it moving.
President Muhammadu Buhari on Wednesday met with the Benue State Governor-elect, Hyacinth Alia, at the Presidential Villa Abuja.
Mr Alia noted that the state owes backlog of salaries, pensions and gratuities and he hopes to remain focus and tackle the myriad of issues on his desk when he takes over office on May 29. “And there’s so much that we need to put on track for things to work. Benue State is an agrarian zone and so we must focus on agriculture and upgrade it.
“We have a lot of backlog of unpaid salaries, pensions and gratuities. So, already I got much on the desk to keep a good focus on and I remain hopeful that I am going to do just that.” “We are very friendly people and over the ages, we’ve lived all cultures and different people. And so if some mishap had happened in the last eight years, thank God the eight years has expired.
