From Scholastica Hir, Makurdi
Chairman of All Progressives Congress (APC), Benue State chapter, Chief Benjamin Omale, has acknowledged Governor Hyacinth Alia for making history with the increased level of infrastructural development in the state.
Omale stated this after Governor Alia flagged off the reconstruction and dualization works on the over 55 Kilometer road projects in Gboko Local Government Area of the state, yesterday.
The road project was part of efforts to open up Benue State through quality infrastructure and improve economic growth. The project will transform key roads across Gboko and its environs, ease movement, boost commerce, create jobs, and improve the daily lives of residents.
The APC chairman who commended the governor for constructing additional roads in major cities across the state urged Benue people across political lines to believe in his administration and support good governance as exemplified by the legacy projects the Governor is doing in the state.
He cited the state’s first underpasses in Makurdi and Gboko and the storey building classroom buildings across the state.

“The performance of Governor Hyacinth Alia in nearly three years, is transformational and has earned him the popular slogan, doing what Benue has never seen before and this is the reason why people have given him different names like “The talk and do Governor.”
Omale, who recommended Governor Alia to Benue residents ahead of the 2027 general elections, said even those from outside the state, including Vice President Kashim Shettima, described Governor Alia as “the transformational governor of Benue state” following the magnitude of projects executed in nearly three years of office.
Omale applauded the bottom-top approach to governance by Governor Alia who has remained grateful to the people of Gboko for their warmth, support, and confidence in his administration’s efforts to address social needs of the area.
He urged the contractors to heed the clear directives of the Governor to work with speed, professionalism, and the highest standards, so that the road projects will be completed and commissioned within five months.
He further appreciated the Governor for other projects including the construction of the state’s first Oncology centre at the Benue State University Teaching Hospitals as well as the VIP clinic to cater for patients who seek medical tourism abroad, with a readily available alternative in Benue to services the state and those within the region.
He also acknowledged the construction of over 35 township roads in major towns of Benue state and the legacy flood control and ecological investment wholly from state government funding to construct the notorious Idyer Basin canal, a major source of flooding before the administration of governor Hyacinth Alia in 2023, ending decades long disaster on residents along the canal
