The governor of Benue State, Reverend Father Hyacinth Alia this morning returned from his Overseas trips with an acknowledgement of an unwavering support from the Chairman of the State Chapter of All Progressive Congress, Chief Benjamin Omale.
Governor Alia who personally lauded the supports he has enjoyed from Omale who received him on his arrival at the Nnamidi Azikwe International Airport in Abuja this morning also lauded all his political associates for their loyalty to his administration.
The governor’s position was contained in a post he personally made on his verified Facebook Page:
Today, I safely returned home after a highly impactful diplomatic mission, first at the 2025 BRICS Summit in Brazil, and then at the prestigious African Achievers Awards held at the UK Parliament in London.
At the BRICS Summit, I had the honour of accompanying President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, GCFR, as part of Nigeria’s delegation. We engaged with world leaders on strengthening global cooperation, with Benue State taking the spotlight in agro-industrialization; an area that holds immense promise for our people.
Our strategic discussions with partners in agriculture, energy, technology, trade, and industrial development are already opening new doors for investment and collaboration.
From Brazil to the UK, I carried with me the dreams and aspirations of the Benue people. At the African Achievers Awards in London, I was honoured with the Award for Excellence in Rural Development and named Champion of Women and Youth Inclusion. This award is for YOU, the hardworking farmers, youth, and strong women of our dear state.
Upon my arrival, I was warmly received by the Benue APC Chairman, Chief Benjamin Omale; Secretary to the State Government, Dcns. Deborah Aber; the Commissioner of Works, Hon. Tiza Imojime; members of the Benue State House of Assembly; and other top government officials. I sincerely thank them and every one of you for your continued prayers and support.
However, Chief Omale while speaking to our reporter at the Airport shortly after the governor’s return stated that Governor Alia is God sent, noting that his experience at all the submits he attended during his Overseas trips would help further in his quest to develop the state.
