Benue Diasporans Set To Celebrate Governor Suswam's National Honorary Award By President Goodluck Jonathan.

The Benue Youths in Diaspora Association has concluded plans to host the governor of the state, Gabriel Suswam to a civic reception to celebrate his numerous achievements and most recently, the National Honour of Commander of the Order of Niger (CON) conferred on him by President Goodluck Jonathan.

The group in a statement signed by its presidentgeneral, Comrade Philip Agbese, said the reception has become necessary as the governor has remained committed to the ideals of governance in the state and should be encouraged to do more for the people of the state.

Agbese maintained that the National Honour on the governor is a further testimony to the excellent leadership and visibility of the Suswam-led administration in Benue State.

He said: “I want to authoritatively confirm to you that the celebration of the award on our governor cannot end in good number of years to come because it is a true reward for visible achievements and quality leadership which Governor Suswam has provided in the overall interest of Benue State.

“The President should be commended for doing a thorough research as the father of this nation to fish out golden fishes like Governor Suswam for this year’s National Honour as a way of showcasing rare patriots who have achieved for nation and humanity.”

He added that the idea of hosting the governor will afford members of the Benue community outside the state to laud one of their own and officially congratulate him and his family on his indelible footprints.
