The statement, therefore, invites all citizens to join in this festive occasion and celebrate the spirit of Benue’s heritage and togetherness.
“This is a unique opportunity to enjoy the flavours of Benue while engaging with family and friends. You are to drink responsibly”, it added.
various socio-cultural groups and associations, appearing in their costumes, staged a walk from Wurukum roundabout, Makurdi, to IBB Square, the venue of the 2024 Benue Carnival show.
Commissioner for Sports, Youth and Creativity, Rt. Hon.Terkimbi Ikyange, was on the ground to give a guide for a hitch-free exercise.
The carnival which used to be a yearly event during the administration of the then governor, Gabriel Suswam, went comatose. The present administration seeks to revive it so as to engage Benue youths for a positive change.
