The Governor of Benue State, Samuel Ortom yesterday dissolved the Benue State Executive Council.

Ortom announced the dissolution during the Valedictory Session of the State Executive Council meeting held at the EXCO Hall of the Benue Peoples House Makurdi, the state capital.

He used the occasion to appreciate members of the council for their stewardship in the last four years.

Ortom appreciated Council members for their commitment to duty and for supporting him during trying period that the state went through.

“Everything that has a beginning must have an end. It has been a challenging assignment but you supported me and the Deputy Governor to overcome the challenges”, he stated.

Governor Ortom prayed God to continue to strengthen them in their endeavours, expressing the hope that some of the outgoing council members might be reappointed in the new cabinet which is expected to be constituted in July.

Ortom said he enjoyed a cordial working relationship with Engr. Benson Abounu, stressing that he would still pick Abounu as Deputy if he had the opportunity to be Governor ten more times.
