“I reiterate that Benue SEMA under my watch will continue to be transparent and committed to delivering on the mandate of the agency in line with Governor Alia administration’s commitment towards mitigating and responding to emergency related issues and resettling the IDPs to their ancestral homes.”

Mr Iorpuu disclosed that the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees, UNHCR, has moved to Benue State permanently to provide manpower to complement the state government’s efforts in addressing the plight of the Benue IDPs.
