Commissioner for Information, Culture and Tourism, Mrs. Ngunan Addingi stated this today while briefing journalists at the end of State Executive Council meeting presided by Governor Samuel Ortom.

She stated that EXCO also approved that Benue Television be connected to satellite to enable viewers watch the station on their television sets and no longer only on internet platforms, stressing that modalities were being worked out to that effect.

According to the Information Commissioner, EXCO also approved Fridays as work free days for Benue workers with effect from 6th November 2020 to 29th January 2021. The decision is to enable civil servants who are farmers harvest their crops.
