Benue Governor sacks his chief of staff, all commissioners<\/p>\n
Gov. Hyacinth Alia on Wednesday, dissolved the Benue State Executive Council (SEC).<\/p>\n
Alia announced the dissolution in a statement signed by his Chief Press Secretary, Mr. Tersoo Kula, and made available to newsmen on Wednesday in Makurdi.<\/p>\n
Kula said that the governor informed the council members of the dissolution at the end of the 12th (2025) SEC meeting.<\/p>\n
The chief press secretary said that the governor directed the dissolved commissioners to hand over to the permanent secretaries of their ministries as soon as possible.<\/p>\n
He appreciated all the former commissioners who worked with him for two years and urged those who may not be reappointed to remain in the party.<\/p>\n
He said those who may not be reappointed were only paving the way for other citizens to also contribute their quota to the development of the state.<\/p>\n
Meanwhile, the governor has approved the immediate appointment of Mr. Moses Atagher, a legal practitioner, as the new Chief of Staff to replace Mr. Paul Biam.<\/p>\n
Kula said that Atagher is a former two-term attorney general and commissioner for justice in the state.<\/p>\n
Atagher, who is a seasoned administrator, is also the former acting managing director of the Federal Mortgage Bank.<\/p>\n
Speaking for the dissolved commissioners, immediate past Attorney General and Commissioner for Justice and Public Order, Mr. Bemsen Mnyim, appreciated the governor for giving them the opportunity to serve the state.<\/p>\n
\u201cAt every stage in life, everywhere you are called to serve is a school. We have learnt a lot while working with you,\u201d he said. (NAN)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
