Benue State Governor, Hyacinth Alia, has issued a stern warning to the chairmen of the state’s 23 Local Government Areas (LGAs) against financial misconduct.
Governor Alia made the remarks, on Monday, during the opening ceremony of a two-day workshop titled “Responsive Local Government Leadership for Effective Local Government Administration in Benue State.”
The Governor emphasized strict adherence to transparency and accountability, reminding the chairmen that their primary responsibility is to utilize Internally Generated Revenue (IGR) and tax funds for the betterment of their communities, not personal gain. He highlighted the importance of increasing IGR to improve public well-being.
