The Benue State government has officially sworn in the new cabinet members for Governor Hyacinth Iormen Alia’s administration, with a familiar face returning to a key position. Hon. Tiza Isaac Imojime Orya has been re-appointed and sworn in as the Commissioner for Works, Housing, and Urban Development, a role he previously held.
The news was confirmed by the Commissioner himself, who took to his official Facebook profile to express his gratitude. “I had the singular honour of being sworn in for the second time as a Commissioner in the Cabinet of H E Hyacinth Iormen Alia,” he wrote. “I wish to sincerely thank the Governor for finding me worthy to serve the people of Benue again.”
Hon. Orya, who is one of the youngest commissioners in the state’s history, has been a key figure in the Alia administration’s ongoing infrastructure projects. His re-appointment is seen by many as a vote of confidence in his leadership and the progress made under his previous tenure. He has been at the forefront of major initiatives, including the highly anticipated High-Level underpass project in Makurdi, which aims to ease traffic congestion and improve urban mobility in the state capital.
The swearing-in ceremony marks the beginning of a new phase of governance in Benue, with the administration focused on delivering on its development agenda. Observers believe that with Hon. Orya’s continued coordination of key projects, the state can expect to see further improvements in its road networks and public infrastructure. The re-appointment of a young and dynamic leader like Hon. Orya also reinforces the administration’s commitment to youth inclusion and good governance.
