From Uche Nnorom, Makurdi
Benue State Governor Rev. Fr. Hyacinth Alia has stressed the commitment of his administration to revive moribund industries and establish new ones to improve the economic development of the State.
The Governor who stated this on Tuesday while commissioning Benue Investment and Property Companies projects, intimated that his government will revamp and build a minimum of 10 industries within the first 4 years of his administration.
Amongst the projects commissioned include; bakery, water factory, Emperor Fertilizer and Motorcycle Hire Purchase Scheme.
Governor Alia said his government will work tirelessly to create an enabling environment for businesses to thrive and provide opportunities for the citizens to prosper.
He noted that the BIPC needs a liquidity of not less than 7 billion to stabilize and drive the industrial revolution in the State.
“My government will support BIPC with an equity stake to float the Benue brewery and establish a juicer factory in the State. These steps are taken to ensure that our teeming youths would be gainfully employed and our farmers have the right value for their farm produce.
