The National Economic Council (NEC) – Monitoring and Implementation Committee – has commended the Benue State Government for what it described as a “remarkable economic transformation” driven by industrialisation, housing and job creation.
The commendation followed an inspection tour of state projects by the North Central Economic Team of the Committee at the facilities of Benue Investment and Property Company Limited (BIPC) in Makurdi.
Jerome Andohol, who is the leader of the delegation, in his remarks, said the team was in Benue as part of a four-state monitoring exercise to assess compliance with NEC development benchmarks.
“We came with an open mind. What we have seen in Benue has exceeded expectations,” Andohol said. “There is impressive progress across humanitarian, health and education sectors, but what stands out are the investment-driven commercial projects.”
The Committee toured BIPC’s revived and new projects, including the Food Basket Brewery, Eco City Estate, Bensono Concentrate
