Groups list expectations from new Benue government
Various groups yesterday evening listed their expectations from the incoming administration in Benue State ranging from the provision of critical infrastructure and good governance to positions in government.
They bared their minds during separate courtesy calls on the Benue State Governor-elect, Dr Samuel Ortom, at his Makurdi residence.
The Gaambe-Tiev All Progressives Congress, APC, Forum, Minda Accountants Forum and Traders at Modern Market wrote their requests, read and handed the documents to Dr Ortom.
Spokesman for the delegation from the five council wards of Gaambe-Tiev in the Logo Local Government Area, Mr Mathias Mtserkyaa, stated that Dr Ortom’s rise from humble beginnings to become a minister of the Federal Republic has nurtured him to provide the state with the needed leadership.
Mr Mtserkyaa, a former Benue State House of Assembly member expressed appreciation for what he described as Dr Ortom’s close association with the people of the area, particularly Mr James Anbua.
He sought an end to the incessant Fulani attacks, resulting in the loss of lives and property as well as the rape of women in the area.
He called for the provision of portable water and establishment of industries in the area.
The Minda Accountants Forum, in an address presented by its president, Mr Patrick Asarya, said they had no doubt that Dr Ortom’s administration would impact positively on the lives of Benue people in an unprecedented manner.
In a goodwill message signed by Okoye Francis, the traders stated that they had a burning desire to see the uplift of the Makurdi Modern Market.
He pledged to reciprocate his cordial relationship with the Gaambe-Tiev community and several of their sons, including Governor Gabriel Suswam and Anbua who he said had washed his hands well enough to dine with kings.
Dr Ortom assured the community that he would utilize dialogue to resolve all conflicts in the state as soon as possible on assumption of office.
He said he would provide the infrastructure they requested as it would also serve his immediate community.
The former minister said he expected the accountants to exhibit honesty in the performance of their duties and assured the traders his administration would boost the private sector through support for micro, small and medium scale enterprises, trading activities and investment.
