Benue State Governor, Samuel Ortom, has directed the management of Benue State University, BSU, Makurdi, to immediately pay the new lecturers employed by the institution who are being owed salaries.
The Governor said the approval given to the BSU management was based on its request to only replace academic staff who had retired.

He stressed that the monthly subvention the university receives from the State Government has not reduced and salaries of the new staff were factored in the allocations and as such, “there is no reason for non-payment of the affected lecturers.”
Gov Ortom, in a press statement signed by his Chief Press Secretary, Terver Akase, gave the University management end of this July to pay the new lecturers, unfailingly.
