The Council said the decision will enable the two institutions to begin to offer fully accredited diploma courses in various disciplines with graduates also participating in National Youth Service Corps.

The approval of the State Executive Council is to be sent to the State House of Assembly for amendment of the laws establishing the institutions.

The Executive Council also approved the termination of contract for the extension of electricity from Gbajimba to Tse-Akaahena in Guma local government area.

Council also approved the termination of contract for the construction of the feeder road which covers Tse-Ortom-Tse-Upev-Tse-Akaahena-Nasarawa border in Guma local government area of the state.

The decision of Council to terminate the two contracts was based on the fact that the contractor Dan-Ella Global Business Services Limited had abandoned the projects, contrary to terms of the agreement it signed with Benue State Government three years ago.

The company is expected to refund the sum of N54.3 million on the abandoned road project and N26.5 million on the abandoned electricity project. Council further directed the Ministry of Rural Development and Cooperatives to award the affected contracts to a qualified and competent company.

A statement signed by the Permanent Secretary, Ministry of Information, Culture and Tourism, James Agbo also said the council commenced deliberations on the proposed Benue State Geographical Information Services for land administration in the state.
