Group Slams Benue State House Of Assembly Members For Embarking On A 3Day Workshop To Obudu Mountain Resort .

A group under the aegis of Benue Integrity Forum has slammed the State House of Assembly for embarking on a three-day training workshop at Obudu Mountain Resort in Cross River State, instead of them to have collaborated with the executive to cut cost in governance .

Addressing journalists in Makurdi, the state capital, the Chairman of the group Aondowase Peter said the whole exercise was a jamboree and wondered why the lawmakers would embark on such wild money spending spree, wasting over N500 million in boosting another state's economy on services that ordinarily would have been gotten within the state.

The group noted that the entire exercise was a show of reckless spending of the state scarce resources even when the state government was still grappling with payment of workers salary and threatens to beam more of their searchlight on the 8th assembly.
