Benue Government Lease Land To Obasanjo Farms For Mango Plantation


Benue Government Lease Land To Obasanjo Farms For Mango Plantation


The Benue Government says it has leased a total of 2,599 hectares of land to Obasanjo Farms for mango plantation and milk production.

Lawrence Onoja, Commissioner for Information, while briefing journalists after the State Executive Council meeting on Thursday in Makurdi, said that 2,420 hectares were for the plantation, while 139 hectares were for milk production.

Mr. Onoja said that the lease agreement would be reviewed after every five years, adding that a hectare was given out for N10,000.

He said that Benue had embraced the National Health Insurance Scheme (NHIS), with the Attorney General, Mike Gusah, detailed to draft a bill to the state assembly to that effect for adoption.

He further disclosed that the council had approved the renovation of three dams – Agu in Guma Local Government Area, Ber-Agbum in Ushongo Local Government and Oweto in Agatu Local Government.

The commissioner said that the council had approved the extension of the biometric verification exercise for workers in the state, to give a chance to those yet to be verified.

He said that the council had resolved to appeal to the Federal Government to revisit abandoned federal projects, especially the dualization of the Aliade-Otukpo road.

“We also discussed the security situation and directed security personnel to intensity efforts to apprehend herdsmen that had persistently attacked Benue people,” he said

I know he wants the best for me and he was just trying his best. “He was trying to be protective but being a pastor and me trying to have a career in music, there could be this friction....

Senator Abba Moro Excludes Obi and Oju from Medical Outreach as Bad Roads Cut Off Communities

  Senator Abba Moro Excludes Obi and Oju from Medical Outreach as Bad Roads Cut Off Communities By Smith Akoko A wave of disappointment has swept through the Obi and Oju Local Government Areas of Benue State following their exclusion from the recent medical outreach organized by Senator Abba Moro. According to sources close to the outreach team, the decision to skip the two localities was not intentional but rather a result of the deplorable state of the roads linking the communities. The impassable routes reportedly made it impossible for medical personnel and logistics teams to access the areas safely. Residents and community leaders, however, have expressed their frustration, lamenting that the poor road network continues to rob them of essential services.
