In the spirit of 2021 New Year celebration, Speaker of the Benue state House of Assembly, Rt Hon. Titus Uba Wednesday distributed 300 bags of rice, 30 cows, salt, maggi and cash to the twelve (12) council wards that make up Vandeikya Local Government Area of Benue state.

Addressing his kinsmen who converged on LGEA Central Primary school Vandeikya to take delivery of the items, Rt Hon. Uba said the gesture should be regarded as a token from his heart to reach out to them during the festive season, hopping that bigger things would come their way through him.
