NEWS: Ortom supervises the construction of a classroom block and a bridge at the Gboko rice mill

The Governor of Benue State, Samuel Ortom, has directed the Executive Chairman of Gboko LGC, Hon James Kachina, to build a bridge at Adi, linking the rice mill village of Gboko, utilizing ecological monies, as soon as possible.

Governor Ortom has also asked the State Universal Basic Education Board, SUBEB, to build a block of three classrooms at St Theresa’s Primary School in Gboko and equip them with plastic desks and chairs.

The Governor gave the orders during a thanksgiving service at St Theresa’s Catholic Church in Rice Mill, Gboko, on Sunday in honor of Commissioner for Health and Human Services, Prof Joseph Ngbea.

Governor Ortom, who issued the directions in response to a request from Rev Fr Jacob Tondu, Parish Priest of St. Theresa’s Catholic Church, Rice Mill, Gboko West, also provided funds to replace the Church’s roof.

At the celebrant’s home, the Governor hailed Ngbea as a deserving son of Mbayion, Jemgbagh, and Benue State at large, who is not only a Commissioner but also his family doctor, handling many people’s health issues on his (the Governor’s) behalf.

Following prayers for Dr. Ngbea, the Governor recognized the people of Jemgbagh’s support for his administration, emphasizing that as they celebrate Dr. Ngbea, they will also be celebrated.
