The Renewed Hope administration of the President of Nigeria, Bola Ahmed Tinubu, has proven to be a grandmaster of inclusive and impactful governance that embraces the desires of the federating States.
The federal government under Mr. President carries along all the States in her road infrastructure development plans.
Just recently, the President of Nigeria released funds for the commencement of nationwide palliative interventions on our road infrastructure in addition to the budgetary and extra budgetary funds provided for the execution of the 2024 road projects.
The 36 State Governors have been working progressively with the APC led federal government, notwithstanding party affiliations or ideological inclinations, to ensure that roads of socio-economic priority in their States are captured in the infrastructure roadmap of the Federal Ministry of Works.
Today, 16th January 2024, the Governor of Benue State, His Excellency, Fr. Hyacinth Alia visited the Honourable Minister of Works, His Excellency Sen. Engr. Nweze David Umahi CON in his office.
The meeting was obviously not unconnected with the desire of the Governor of Benue State to change the infrastructural landscape of Benue State through tapping into Mr. President’s Renewed Hope infrastructure initiatives across the nation.
His Excellency Hyacinth Alia is the second Catholic Priest to be elected as Governor in the history of Nigeria. He emerged victorious in the Benue State Gubernatorial election held on March 18 , 2023, and on Monday, the 8th day of January 2024, the Supreme Court upheld his election and dismissed the appeal of Mr. Titus Uba of the People’s Democratic Party (PDP), who was his rival on the 18th March, 2023 poll. He is proudly a member of All Progressives Congress, APC.
