Governor Hyacinth Alia Orders Comprehensive Assessment of Makurdi-Naka Road Ahead of Reconstruction

The Benue State Government has taken a major step toward rehabilitating the dilapidated Makurdi-Naka Road, with Governor Rev. Fr. Dr. Hyacinth Iormem Alia directing a team of engineers and surveyors from China Harbour Engineering Company Limited (CHEC), led by Engr.
