Benue Gov Dissolves Exco, Appoints New Chief Of Staff

Benue State Governor, Hyacinth Alia, has dissolved the state Executive Council.

The decision was announced by the Governor at the close of the 12th (2025) meeting of the Benue State Executive Council.

“He (Alia) appreciates all the former commissioners who worked with him for two years, calling on those who may not be called back or reappointed to stay in the party and continue to liaise with the system, as they are only paving the way for other citizens who may be chosen to replace them to also contribute their quota.

“Apart from the Chief of Staff, the governor announced that the dissolution affects only commissioners.

“Speaking on behalf of the dissolved commissioners, Bemsen Mnyim appreciates the governor for giving them the opportunity to serve the state.

“According to him, ‘…at every stage in life, everywhere you are called to serve is a school. We have learnt a lot while working with you.’”

The former commissioners were directed to hand over to the Permanent Secretaries of their ministries as soon as possible.

Meanwhile, the governor has appointed a former two-term Attorney General of the state and Commissioner for Justice, Moses Atagher, as the new Chief of Staff.
