Benue State Governor, Hyacinth Alia, has declared a two-week holiday for civil servants in the state in celebration of the Christmas and New Year.
The Governor who made the announcement in a Christmas message he personally signed in Makurdi on Tuesday, said that the holiday will commence on December 24 and end on January 6, 2025.
“In the spirit of the Yuletide and in conjunction with the Benue Executive Council, I’m pleased to announce an elongated Christmas and New Year for the state workforce,” Alia said.
“While you use it to enjoy this festive season with your loved ones, it is also expected that the holiday afford you the time to attend to your various agricultural engagements,” he added.
The Governor enjoined the workers to use the period to engage in farming activities to boost food production and reduce poverty.
Alia however, called on workers offering essential service like financial institutions, energy providers, security agencies, hospitals, telecommunications, fire service, and water board, to devise a schedule to work during the holiday period.
He also advised the people of the state to continue to imbibe the spirit of love and peace while remaining committed to a better Benue.
