The Benue State Governor-Elect, Rev Fr Hyacinth Alia, says he would tap from the wealth of experience and wisdom of elderstatesmen towards effective service delivery to people of the state.
Rev. Fr. Alia who was speaking when he visited second republic Minister of Communications, Mr Isaac Shaahu at his residence in Gboko, acknowledged his immense contributions to peace and growth of the state and nation.
The Governor-elect Implored Benue elites to continue to bless the younger generation especially those who seek for knowledge, counsel and guidance to enable them succeed in their different fields of endeavor.
Responding, elderstatesman, Mr Shaahu applauded Rev Fr Alia for the visit and admonished him to consider all indigenes of Benue as his own children even as he called on him to embrace those who contested against him for the good of the state.
He enjoined the Governor-Elect to create job opportunities to address the challenge of unemployment in the state for faster development.
