Ortom Invites Buhari To Commission Makurdi Medium Correctional Centre Project

President Muhammadu Buhari has been invited to commission the newly constructed cell blocks at the Makurdi medium correctional center in Benue State.
According to TrackNews, Benue State Governor Samuel Ortom invited the president to commission the project aimed at reducing jailbreaks at the center.

Ortom revealed this during a meeting with the people of Ugondo, the correctional service’s host community.

This comes about four weeks after the president’s counterpart in the G5 or Integrity Group, Rivers State Governor Nyesom Wike, invited the president and others to commission projects in his state.

According to Track News, Wike invited President Buhari, the Labour Party’s (LP) Presidential Candidate, Peter Obi, and former National Chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Adams Oshiomhole, among others, to inaugurate some projects in the state.

On November 18, the president dedicated the finished and furnished world-class Nabo Graham Douglas Campus of the Nigerian Law School, Port Harcourt, in the Obio-Akpor Local Government Area.

In addition, despite being a critic of the APC-led administration, Ortom has invited Buhari to commission a project in his state.

Ortom stated that the new correctional facilities were prompted by reports of jailbreaks across the country, including one at Kuje Area Council in the FCT, among others.

He also warned residents of the host community not to encroach on the service’s or any other federal agency’s land that contributes to the growth and security of the people of Benue.
