The Nigeria Union of Local Government Employees (NULGE) national secretariat is to present an award of ‘Life Patron of NULGE in Nigeria’ to Governor Samuel Ortom Monday.
Benue state chairman of NULGE, Comrade Terungwa Igbe in a letter to the governor made available to journalists in Makurdi Sunday said the national president will be in Makurdi to perform the ceremony.
He said the honour was in recognition of Governor Ortom’s support and “inestimable contribution to the emancipation of the local government system.”
The letter added that Governor Ortom actively supported the passage of the Local Government Autonomy Bill by the 7th Benue state House of Assembly.
