Benue State Government has directed the State Environmental Sanitation Authority, (BENSESA) to postpone this month’s sanitation exercise scheduled to hold Saturday, June 26, 2021, in Makurdi and Gboko.
State Governor Samuel Ortom gave the directive in a statement signed by his Chief Press Secretary, Terver Akase in Makurdi.
The statement said the postponement is to enable candidates for this year’s Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME), who had technical issues in the last examination and are to sit for it again this Saturday, to get to the designated centres without delay.
Consequently, there will be free movement of people in Makurdi and Gboko within the stipulated time for the sanitation.
Governor Ortom, however, enjoined those living in other towns of the state to comply with the restriction of movement between the hours of 7am and 9am and to also ensure they keep their surroundings clean.
