Benue Government Buys 100 Buses to Ease Fuel Subsidy Impact
In response to the removal of fuel subsidy and its associated economic challenges, the Benue State government has taken steps to alleviate the suffering of its citizens by procuring 100 buses. 

These buses will be handed over to Benue Links, the state-owned transport company, with the aim of providing affordable transportation options to the public.

Governor Hyacinth Alia made this announcement during a radio and television broadcast as part of the activities marking Nigeria's 63rd Independence Anniversary in Makurdi. 

In his address, Governor Alia expressed his awareness of the hardships faced by the people due to the removal of fuel subsidy and the prevailing harsh economic conditions across the country.

He reassured the citizens of Benue that their resilience and patience would not be in vain, emphasizing that the state government was committed to repositioning and strengthening institutions for good governance. The governor also hinted at additional measures to alleviate economic challenges in the state.

"In addition, plans are underway to distribute N50,000 each to market women across the state to enhance their petty trade businesses," Governor Alia disclosed.

Governor Alia emphasized the importance of security for the success of the state's governance initiatives. He highlighted the detrimental effects of insecurity, such as wanton killings, kidnapping, banditry, and communal conflicts, on society. He stressed that good governance and development could only thrive in a secure environment.

As Nigeria celebrated its 63rd Independence Anniversary, Governor Alia called on the people of Benue to reflect on the past while examining the present and looking forward to a brighter future. 

He acknowledged the sacrifices and valour of those who fought for the country's political freedom and called for unity and cohesion to address the challenges facing the nation.

Governor Alia expressed gratitude to the Almighty for preserving Nigeria throughout its history and noted the significant potential that Benue State possesses in contributing to the nation's progress and development.
