Ortom dissolves boards

Benue State Governor Samuel Ortom has dissolved the boards of parastatals, non-statutory commissions and governing councils of tertiary institutions.

A statement by the Secretary to the State Government, Targema Takema, said the dissolution was with immediate effect.

It urged heads of the affected organisations to take note.

The governor promised to make government media establishments functional for effective dissemination of information.

He spoke in Abuja at an interactive session with members of the People’s House Press Crew, organised by the Special Adviser on Media and ICT, Mr. Tahav Agerzua.

Ortom, who noted the poor condition of Radio Benue and Benue Printing and Publishing Company, publishers of The Voice, assured that everything would be done to restore the lost glory of the media establishments.

He said he would withdraw the case against Ashi Waves Radio Station, Katsina-Ala, in line with his objective of forgiveness.

The governor said he met Benue in a bad economic state, hoping that God would help the people to surmount the problems and assist his administration to provide good governance.

Agerzua assured Ortom that members of the People’s House Press Crew were professionals determined to support his government to succeed through fair reporting of his administration’s activities.

The governor urged the indigenes in public offices to project the image of the state by excelling in their assignments.

He spoke in Otukpo at a reception after a thanksgiving mass in honour of ex-Senate President David Mark, organised by the people of Benue South Senatorial District.

Represented by his Chief of Staff, Mr. Terwase Orbunde, Ortom acknowledged the achievements of the lawmaker at the Senate, saying Benue people were proud of him.

Senator Mark said the successes recorded in piloting the affairs of the upper chamber in the last eight years were accomplished by the grace of God and through the support of his colleagues, friends and well-wishers.
