🏭🍊 President Tinubu Unveils Advanced Bensono Fruit Processing Plant In Benue State

MAKURDI, Nigeria, June 29, 2026 - The Benue State Government has achieved a monumental milestone in its industrialization and agricultural value-chain agendas following the formal commissioning of the Bensono Fruit Processing and Concentrate Factory. Unveiled by the Chief of Staff to the President on behalf of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, the advanced plant marks the successful restoration of a long-abandoned asset.

The strategic industrial facility lay completely dormant and neglected for over thirteen years, forcing local horticultural smallholders to lose tonnes of citrus crops annually to preservation lapses. In a rapid eighteen-month execution window, the administration of Governor Hyacinth Iormem Alia fully retrofitted, equipped, and transformed the complex into one of West Africa's most advanced agro-processing plants.

Governor Alia confirmed that launching high-capacity domestic factories is an absolute prerequisite for driving wealth creation and insulating local farmers from post-harvest distribution bottlenecks. The complex will generate over five hundred direct technical jobs, support thousands of farming families, and significantly reduce the federation's dependence on imported fruit concentrate mixes.

Governor Alia Liquidates Legacy Debt Burden While Advancing Capital Infrastructure

The Benue State Government has expanded its institutional audit and capital deployment frameworks following an official executive brief issued by Chief Press Secretary Sir Tersoo Kula detailing ongoing fiscal remediation milestones. Rejecting public debate challenges from previous political actors, the state clarified that executive performance will not be derailed by media diversion tactics.

The current administration has initiated heavy treasury operations to liquidate massive inherited liabilities, including multi-month civil service salary arrears, over seventy-six months of unpaid rural pensions, and extensive court-ordered garnishee blocks. The state legal department is systematically auditing prior handover notes to recover mismanaged public funds back into state coffers.

Governor Alia maintained that clearing inherited debts must run concurrently with direct project delivery. The Ministry of Works confirmed the successful execution of multiple legacy installations, including the complete modernization of the Benue Fruit Juice Company, the launch of a world-class regional Fashion Hub, and the completion of major urban interchange flyovers in Gboko and Makurdi.
