Benue Governor's Media Adviser Denies Reports That 30Millions Shares Of Dangote Cement Have Been Sold Off.

The Special Adviser  Media to Governor Gabriel Suswam,Cletus Akwaya, has denied the allegation that Benue State Government sold off 30million Dangote Cement shares.

 Akwaya said some top leaders of the Action for Progressive Change (APC) queried the motive behind the sale and called on the state government to urgently clear the air over the development to avoid any untoward reaction from the people.


It was gathered that a considerable number of persons questioned the rational by the state government to deprive its people of what they termed, “this valuable investment,” at a time the company is doing well in the capital market.

They feared that if no action is taken to prevent the wholesale sale of the shares, the state would be the looser, since the proceeds so far realized have not been invested in any profitable venture, nor disclosed to the State House of Assembly for appropriation as required by law.
