The Benue State Government has that Wednesday, June 18, 2025, would be a public holiday due to the President’s planned visit to the state.
In a statement signed by the Secretary to the State Government, Serumun Deborah Aber, the President is expected in the state on a one-day condolence visit to commiserate with the government and people of Benue over the increased violent attacks that have led to numerous de@ths.
The government stated that the holiday is intended to give citizens the opportunity to receive the president warmly but clarified that the directive excludes workers in essential services, including medical personnel, security agencies, and banking institutions.
