Benue State Governor, Hyacinth Alia, has dissolved the state executive council, retaining only the office of Chief of Staff, while the former Attorney General and Commissioner for Justice, Moses Atagher, has been appointed as the new Chief of Staff with immediate effect.


The Chief Press Secretary to the governor, Terso Kula, disclosed that the dissolution affects only the commissioners.


Governor Alia thanked the outgoing commissioners for their two years of service, urging those who may not be reappointed to remain in the party and continue supporting the administration. 


The former commissioners have also been directed to hand over to the permanent secretaries of their respective ministries.


In response, the dissolved commissioners, led by Bemsen Mnyim, thanked the governor for the opportunity to serve, describing the experience as a learning process. 


The restructuring of the executive council marks a significant change in the Benue State government under Governor Alia's leadership.
