The Senior Special Assistant to the Governor of Benue State on Youth Organization and Illegal Levies, Hon. Gbenda Terver, who is also the Benue State Youth Leader, has summoned the leadership of the Property Agents and Landlords Association of Nigeria (PALAN), Benue State chapter, and the Benue State Property Management Association for a crucial meeting.
The meeting follows a letter submitted to Governor Hyacinth Alia and the Speaker of the Benue State House of Assembly, Hon. Berger Alfred Emberga, over the high cost of rent in the state. It is necessitated by public outcry about the excessive increment in agency fees and other illegal levies and multiple taxations, which have become a major burden on tenants across Benue State.
Leadership of land agents from Makurdi, Gboko, Otukpo and Katsina-Ala have been specifically invited to attend. Members of the public, particularly those with cogent complaints, are also encouraged to participate.
The meeting is scheduled for Friday, 16 October 2026, at 10 a.m. beside the basketball court at Aper-Aku Stadium in Makurdi.
