Speaking at the event, Hon. Agada expressed her gratitude for the overwhelming turnout and commended the Governor’s efforts in prioritizing Enone’s development.
“I’m overwhelmed with the massive support the Governor is receiving from my federal constituency.

Hon. Agada further highlighted key political appointments from the federal constituency, including the first Chairman of Benue State Internal Revenue Service from the Idoma-Igede extraction, the pioneer Director-General of Public Procurement in Benue State, the Deputy Speaker of the Benue State House of Assembly, and several commissioners and board members at both state and federal levels.
