The Benue State Commissioner for Rural Development and Cooperatives, Mr. Aondowase Chia, slumped and later died in the hospital.
Chia is the second commissioner in the ministry to die in office under the administration of Governor Gabriel Suswam.
Atorto Girgi, an indigene of Ushongo Local Government Area
of the state, as the ministry’s commissioner, died in active service
over three years ago.
Chia died at about 6.30am at the Benue State University Teaching Hospital, Makurdi.
The Chief of Staff to the Governor, Prof. Saint Gbilekaa,
who led members of the state executive council on a sympathy visit to
the family of the deceased in Makurdi, the state capital, described the
death as sad and very unfortunate.
