Benue State Governor Hyacinth Alia says the impact of his administration’s projects and policies will determine his chances of securing re-election in 2027.
The governor, who spoke through his Chief Press Secretary, Kula Tersoo, in a statement issued on Sunday, said he remained focused on governance despite what he described as opposition distractions.
Alia cited the recent signing of a Memorandum of Understanding with Hudson Global Ltd, which is expected to attract $5bn in investment to the state, as part of efforts to reposition Benue’s economy.
He also listed the construction of rural and urban roads, payment of salaries and gratuities, improved workers’ welfare, support for senior citizens and the establishment of the Food Basket Bakery among the achievements of his administration.
“The growing confidence in Benue’s economic prospects is not accidental,” the statement said.
“Just a few days ago, the state government signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with Hudson Global Ltd to attract a $5bn investment aimed at transforming Benue’s economic landscape.
“The difference is also visible in the everyday lives of the people. The construction of rural and urban roads, consistent payment of salaries and gratuities, and the establishment of the Food Basket Bakery are among the achievements that cannot be hidden.”
The governor urged opposition politicians to refrain from political distractions and allow his administration to concentrate on delivering its mandate.
According to him, his government has introduced greater transparency and accountability into the management of state resources.
“These are evidenced by certifications and recognitions from reputable international audit firms,” the statement added.
Alia also claimed that his administration had restored Benue to creditworthy status while creating a safer and more credible environment for investors.
He expressed confidence that the achievements recorded by his government would speak for him when the 2027 election approaches.
