Benue
State Governor, Samuel Ortom has directed the immediate renaming of the
LGEA Primary School, Ogene -Amejo in Edumoga, Okpokwu local government
area of the state after 13-year old Miss Ochanya Ogbanje who was
reportedly raped to death by her uncle and his son. The Governor who
announced the decision while briefing newsmen at the Benue Peoples House
Makurdi, said the action was to immortalize the late Miss Ochanya
considering the circumstances that led to her death.
He
also directed the State Universal Basic Education Board, SUBEB, to
carry out massive renovation work on the primary school to accord it a
befitting standard. Governor Ortom expressed the hope that when the
Universal Basic Education Commission, UBEC, eventually releases its
counterpart contribution to march the state government counterpart
funding of N3.3 billion already deducted at source from the last tranche
of Paris Club refund to the state, it would help to further improve
infrastructure at the primary education level. The post
