2021 UTME: Gov. Ortom postpones sanitation in Makurdi, Gboko

Benue State Government has postponed  this month’s sanitation exercise scheduled to hold tomorrow, Saturday, 26th June, 2021 in Makurdi and Gboko.

According to Mr. Terver Akase, Chief Press Secretary to the State
Governor, Samuel Ortom, the governor gave the directive to the Benue State Environmental Sanitation Authority, BENSESA, on Friday.

The Chief Press Secretary explained that the directive is to enable candidates for this year’s Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination, UTME, who had technical issues in the last examination and are to sit for it again tomorrow, to get to the designated centres without delay.

“Consequently, there will be free movement of people in Makurdi and Gboko within the stipulated time for the sanitation.

Governor Ortom however enjoins those living in other towns of the state to comply with the restriction of movement between the hours of 7am and 9am and to also keep their surroundings clean,” the statement partly read.
