Benue State Governor, Samuel Ortom has urged the Catholic Diocese of Makurdi the state capital to establish a university in a bid to immortalize Rev. Fr.
The Governor said the late Fr. Murphy had confided in him about his desire to build a Catholic University, hence his call for the Catholic Diocese of Makurdi to ensure the fulfillment of that dream, a legacy in honour of the late missionary priest.
Governor Ortom pledged his readiness to support the university project if taken up by the Diocese of Makurdi. The Governor noted that his encounter with Fr. Murphy was that of encouragement and excitement, noting that Fr. Murphy was always willing to make life meaningful for others and not for himself.
The Contractor, Engr. Stephen Akange of Privent Construction Company, appreciated the Government of Benue State for its patronage, stating that the company will continue to justify the confidence in the execution of quality projects and timely completion.
