Benue State Governor, Samuel Ortom Thursday inaugurated 12 new Permanent Secretaries with a charge on them to be just, fair and equitable in the discharge of their duties.

Your loyalty and total commitment to duty and adherence to our philosophy of total abhorrence for corruption, indiscipline and all the negative tendencies that can weigh the state down from moving forward must be your guiding principles”.
