ABUJA — Benue State Governor Rev. Fr. Hyacinth Alia said on Wednesday that implementation of local government autonomy in the state is sacrosanct and has reduced his burden.
He urged other governors to ensure council autonomy, noting its significant benefits.
Speaking during an interactive session with State House correspondents at the Presidential Villa, Abuja, Alia praised President Bola Tinubu’s economic reforms, saying they strengthened the state’s finances, improved security, revived infrastructure and agriculture, and transformed Benue into an emerging medical tourism hub.
