Benue State Governor, Rev. Fr. Dr. Hyacinth Iormem Alia has expressed shock over the dilapidated nature of the Benue State Liaison Office in Abuja.
The governor who paid an unscheduled visit to the office located on Mary Slessor street, Asokoro, Abuja on Friday, was further taken aback when he was told that Abuja Municipal Area Council (AMAC, has since, year 2020, declared the building inhabitable.
The Liaison Officer, Vershima Anshungu, who conducted the governor round the almost completely ruined facility, lamented among other issues that, although the office generates revenue, the management of the office has continued to use the revenue to pay fines to AMAC, since 2020.
He said the last time the structure was renovated and furnished was in the year 2003.
The Governor who declined to make comments, only said, he could not believe what he had seen.
“I can’t believe what I have seen,” governor Alia simply stated.
