Governor Hyacinth Alia
has said that Benue is one of the least developed states in northern
Nigeria.Alia made this statement when he broke Ramadan fast with Muslim
faithful in Makurdi.
He, however, vowed that
the situation must change as his administration was determined to embark on
developmental projects that would put Benue in a pride of place among other
states in the country.
Alia advised Nigerians
to imbibe the spirit of unity to be able to confront common enemies like
bandits, kidnappers and corruption, among others.The governor emphasized that
Nigeria needs unity in diversity to make meaningful progress in the comity of
nations.
The Benue governor also
urged Nigerians to change their perception about government, about themselves
and about religion, stressing that none of the holy books talked about picking
tents against one another.
