Benue Youths Welcome Gov Alia to Yam Festival with Video (Video)

Hundreds of young people in the GBOKO regional government area in Benue state on Monday welcomed the Governor of Hyacinth Alia to the new sweet potato festival in the area with a convoy of thrust and motorcycle.

The Governor is on his way to the IOR-IGEMGBAGH community to participate in this year’s festival, and with shame, he was welcomed by the young people who launched hundreds of wheelbarrows to make convoys.

Revenue may not be connected to the decision of Alia Baru -new to give some rural women’s carts as a means of empowerment.
