Meanwhile, Benway state governor-elect Hyacinth Alia met with President Mama Dupuhari at the presidential villa of Abuja. As speaking to state house correspondents after the closed door meeting with the president, Alia frowned at the condition of the Benway state civil service. According to him, the state civil service is in a state of near collapse and in intensive care unit. But he has come to infuse life into it and keep it moving. I know that what the good people of Benway want is progress, is development. And there's so much that we need to put on track for things to work. Benway state is an agrarian zone. So we must keep a good focus on agriculture, upgrade it. And Benway is very capable of feeding the whole nation.
