Hon. Alfred Emberga has been sworn in as the new Speaker of the Benue State House of Assembly, following the resignation of his predecessor, Rt. Hon. Aondona Dajoh, earlier today.

 

The brief swearing-in ceremony was conducted at the Assembly complex in Makurdi, where Emberga officially took the oath of office.

 

Dajoh had stepped down in a handwritten letter dated August 24, citing the decision as one taken “in good faith and in the best interest of the state.”

 

Emberga is expected to steer the Assembly through ongoing legislative business while pledging commitment to peace and stability in the state.
