GOV. ALIA ACKNOWLEDGES RECEIPT OF HOUSE RESOLUTIONS ON BSIEC, DIRECTS ACTION.
Thursday, August 2nd, 2024
His Excellency, Rev. Fr. Hyacinth Alia is in receipt of a communication from the Benue State House of Assembly wherein the Honourable members sent some resolutions to him for further implementation.
These resolutions include, amongst others; that the chairman of the Commission, Dr. John Chen should be removed from the office.
The Assembly accused the BSIEC chairman of lacking good judgement as to which decision will appeal to the greater majority of all stakeholders, and also that his actions so far in office fall short of the public interest.
Governor Alia has accepted the resolutions and directed the Chairman of the commission to immediately hand over to the Administrative secretary of the commission.
