Benue State Governor, Rev. Fr. Hyacinth Alia, on Tuesday, paid an unscheduled visit to Benue State University, Makurdi.
Gov Alia was at the state-owned institution to inspect facilities earmarked for the upcoming ICT training for 10,000 Benue youth, sponsored by the Benue state government in partnership with Google and Microsoft.
This was contained in press statement by the Chief Press Secretary to the Governor, Tersoo Kula.
The statement said: “After inspecting the halls and receiving briefings from the management of the institution, the governor discovered that while some of the halls are fully equipped and ready for use with such requirements as air conditioners and dashboards, others are not fully equipped for the purpose.”
Gov Alia assured that the facilities without the needed equipment, shall within a very short time be fully equipped in order that the programme will commence in earnest.
