“The fact that a number of youths are seeing roadblocks as a lucrative business is part of insecurity that is created.

“Once we get rid of that, we will know who the miscreants that are causing disharmony.

The governor urged organisations concerned with such activities in the state to immediately ensure strict compliance with the new directives.

“The removal of illegal roadblocks to prevent the misuse of such roadblocks by hoodlums.

“The instruction is given to allow free movement of businessmen and women, as well as easy transportation of goods and services.

“The directives became necessary to enable ease of doing business in the state, safeguard, and guarantee free passage of goods and travellers throughout the country.

“To this end, no Police department, section, squad or unit should mount roadblock, as according to law, security operatives or groups have no reason to mount a roadblock.

“For the avoidance of doubt, the Taxes and Levies act Laws of the Federation of Nigeria 2004 section 2 (2) disallow any person, including a Tax Authority from mounting a Roadblock in any part of the Federation for the purposes of collecting any Tax or Levy,” the governor explained.

“Sustenance of remediation and re-awakening of world consciousness to environmental sustainability has therefore become imperative to save man from self-destruction and guarantee the connection of life on earth,” he explained.

According to him, it is high time man and nature got reconnected to promote environmental, security and sustainability of healthy living on earth.

He underscored the economic benefits gotten from trees, which the people of the state would be enlightened better to enable them opt out of poverty.

“Economic tree can sustain a family, children school fees and upkeep can be sustained through these means, the youth can be empowered through these means,” Alia said.

He commended Benue people for their support and prayers and appealed to them to remain steadfast and look forward to better days ahead.(NAN/vitalnewsngr.com)
