Three military units established in Sankera axis of Benue as Gov. Alia donates 30 motorcycles to boost security patrols
Worried by the endless insecurity in Sankera axis of Benue State in the North Central Nigeria, Governor Hyacinth Alia has announced the establishment of three military units in Katsina-Ala, Ukum and Logo Local Government Areas.
The three military operational bases were part of measures, to strengthen security in the troublesome areas.
Rev. Father Alia disclosed this at a town hall meeting with stakeholders from Sankera areas of the State.
The governor used the occasion to appreciate the members and supporters of the ruling All Progressives Congress, APC for electing at the recently held party primary foe him to re-contest a second term of office in 2027 general election.
Alia said, the military units will be stationed at Agu in Katsina-Ala, Anyiin in Logo and Azendeshi in Ukum.
In a statement by the Chief Press Secretary to the governor, Tersoo Kula and made available to journalists on Tuesday in Makurdi, said the town hall is expected to continue across the remaining 10 Federal Constituencies in the coming days.
Meanwhile, the governor announced the donation of 30 motorcycles to security agencies in the area to enhance general patrols and facilitate rapid responses when needed.
On infrastructure and development, Governor Alia announced plans for the construction of a new dam with a projected capacity of 460 megawatts, saying the project would provide water and support electricity generation for the people of the state.
He also addressed concerns surrounding the Federal Government’s planned ranching initiative, assuring the people that no ranch would be established in Benue without the consent of the people and his administration.
He said, “Nobody will force us to cede even an inch of our land to the pastoralist for any purpose. If that must happen, I can assure you, it will not be this time that I am still the Governor of Benue State.”
