Alia's Support for Agatu Defended by Local Chairman Ejeh
Melvin Ejeh, the Chairman of Agatu Local Government Council, defended Benue State Governor Rev. Fr. Hyacinth Alia against allegations of neglect from the Agatu West Peace and Unity Forum. Ejeh asserted that the Alia administration has provided unprecedented support, enabling significant achievements in Agatu.
He specifically mentioned the ongoing construction of the 43-kilometre Obagaji-Okokolo-Agagbe road, which costs approximately ₦29 billion. This project is expected to enhance security and reduce travel time between Makurdi and Agatu by about two hours.
Ejeh noted that the road passes through areas previously known for insecurity, allowing for quicker emergency responses. He also highlighted the political representation for Agatu under Alia, including the appointment of Dr. Margaret Adekemi Ijaguwa as Commissioner for Education, which has led to plans for a government technical school in Enungba.
Ejeh emphasized that the Alia administration has shown more commitment to Agatu than any previous government.
