The newly appointed chairman of Oju Local Government Area of Benue State, Hon Ire Arubi has promised to reposition the Local government for the good of the people.
This was contained in her new year message to the people of Oju local government council. She told reporters that under her watch, the lost glory of Oju as one of the leading Local governments areas in Benue state in terms of rural development will be restored.
One of the ways to achieve the above objective she said is by restoration of lasting peace between the warring communities in the Local government.
According to her, in the absence of peace, there can be no development anywhere.
The Council boss disclosed that effort is being made to grade roads leading to the council secretariat from Ihiejuo market junction and other adjoining roads.
She also explained that her administration is set to give the secretariat a face- lift by way of complete renovation. “I cannot remember when last the secretariat was renovated. I also intend to renovate the local government staff quarters”.
The Council boss equally disclosed that the council stadium built over two decades ago will be reconstructed to make it good enough to host major government activities and social events.” My plan is to bring the stadium to the standard of Eagle Square in Abuja”.
Hon Arubi therefore solicited the support of all and sundry for the realization of her administration’s goals and objectives.
She expressed gratitude to the Executive Governor of Benue State, Rev.father Alia over her appointment, even as she equally thanked party stakeholders. ” I promise to put in my best for the good of the local government and our dear Benue State”, she said.
