CELEBRATING 50 YEARS OF BENUE: REP. UGBOR REAFFIRMS A GREATER FUTURE

The Member representing Kwande/Ushongo Federal Constituency, Hon. Terseer Ugbor, has congratulated his constituents and the entire people of Benue State on the celebration of the state’s 50th anniversary, describing the milestone as a testament to the people's resilience and unity.

Hon. Ugbor reflected on the achievements recorded since the creation of the state in 1976, noting that the Golden Jubilee is a collective celebration of shared aspirations and the resolve of the people to advance together while prioritising peaceful coexistence and sustainable development.

He commended past military and civilian leaders whose contributions, he said, laid the foundational pillars upon which the state’s present progress is built. He also applauded successive administrations, past and present, for their efforts in strengthening governance and development across the state.

The Honourable Member highlighted the contributions of Kwande/Ushongo Federal Constituency to the growth of Benue State, paying special tribute to Governor Aper Aku, the first civilian governor of the state, whose visionary leadership, he noted, established a solid blueprint for Benue’s developmental trajectory.

He expressed concern over the persistent insecurity affecting his constituency and other parts of the state, which he said has slowed the pace of development. Nevertheless, he reaffirmed his resolve and that of his people to confront and overcome these challenges in order to bequeath a safe and prosperous state to future generations.

Hon. Ugbor prayed for continued peace, unity, and progress in Benue State and assured citizens that the state is destined for greatness in the years ahead.

The party leaders and APC stakeholders, with organic and genuine support unanimously passed a clear vote of confidence and resolved their commitment to backing Hon. Terseer Ugbor in the consolidation of his effective representation.

They unequivocally affirmed that Hon. Terseer Ugbor has excelled in developmental projects, human empowerment, and effective advocacy for the constituency, as well as contributions to national policies and development.

To secure the collective support of party stakeholders from the two Local Government Areas (Ushongo and Kwande) without discord is a clear indication that the Representative has steadily and diligently attained excellence.

Hon. Terseer Ugbor has been consistent and deliberate in stakeholder engagement and outreach to constituents. In politics, driven as it often is by selfish interests and sentiments, not everyone will agree; however, those who affirm his leadership clearly outweigh those who dissent, as demonstrated by the overwhelming collective endorsement of stakeholders.

Hon. Terseer Ugbor remains firmly on course. The year 2026 promises to be a boom for those privileged to understand the scope of the planned projects. Their impact will be even greater upon implementation, with unexecuted projects from 2025, due poor funding from the federal government, added to those earmarked in the budget for 2026.

The vote of confidence from notable quarters, stakeholders, elders, and leaders, far outweighs the murmurs driven by trivialities, selfish motives, and political bias.

Ugbor Doo, Ugbor Shi Aza!

In the words of Winston Churchill
“You ask, what is our aim?
I can answer in one word: Victory, victory at all costs, victory in spite of all terror, victory, however long and hard the road may be; for without victory, there is no survival.”

On Your Mandate, We Shall Stand!

REP. UGBOR WITHDRAWS DEFAMATION SUIT AGAINST BENUE GOVERNOR TO FOCUS ON LEGISLATIVE DUTIES

The Member representing Kwande/Ushongo Federal Constituency, Hon. Terseer Ugbor, has explained that his decision to withdraw the defamation suit instituted against the Governor of Benue State and two of his media aides was taken purely to end the distractions and to enable him focus on his legislative duties.

The suit, marked MHC/422/24, also listed the Chief Press Secretary to the Governor, Mr. Tersoo Kula, and the Principal Special Assistant to the Governor on Electronic Media, Mr. Isaac Uzaan, as co-defendants.

The case filed on 31st October 2024, experienced a series of delays following the prolonged judicial strike embarked upon by the Benue State Judiciary, which lasted for nearly five months.

He notes that since the commencement of the case, neither the Governor nor the other defendants had filed any defense in response to the suit. Ordinarily, the failure to file a defense would have led to judgment being entered in his favour, as such absence could have been interpreted as an admission of guilt by the defendants.

However, Hon. Ugbor says he opted to discontinue the case because of the distraction it posed, and on the appeal by his family and friends who have consistently requested he discontinue the matter.

“My decision to withdraw Suit No. MHC/244/24 is entirely to avoid distraction and to concentrate fully on delivering the dividends of democracy to the good people of Kwande/Ushongo Federal Constituency,” he stated.

The Honorable Member emphasises that the withdrawal was in no way politically motivated but taken in the best interest of his family and the constituents he proudly represents.

He reaffirms his unflinching political loyalty and confidence in the leadership of the Secretary to the Government of the Federation, Senator George Akume, describing him as a guiding figure whose counsel and support have been invaluable since his assumption of office.

Hon. Ugbor further urges the people of Benue State, particularly his constituents to be rest assured that he remains committed to their well-being and has in fact delivered several volumes of relief and empowerment materials to the displaced people in kwande since the unfortunate incident orchestrated by the Governor.

REP. UGBOR COMMENDS IGP FOR JATO-AKA DIVISION, PRESSES FOR IMPLEMENTATION OF BORDER PATROL UNIT

The Member representing Kwande/Ushongo Federal Constituency, Hon. Terseer Ugbor, has commended the Inspector-General of Police, Dr. Kayode Egbetokun, and the Benue State Commissioner of Police, CP Emenari Ifeanyi, PhD, for upgrading the Jato-Aka Police Station to a full Division and approving new Divisions and Area Commands in the state.

Hon. Ugbor, while expressing gratitude, called for the immediate implementation of the previously approved Border Patrol Unit, for which he had donated a facility to enable its take-off, stressing its importance for effective policing of the volatile border communities within his constituency.

He explained that the Jato-Aka Division and Border Patrol Unit cover vast stretches along state and international borders, which remain vulnerable to banditry, illegal mining, kidnapping, armed herders’ attacks, land grabbing, and the displacement of indigenous communities.

The Honourable Member emphasized that the implementation and deployment of additional personnel to the Border Patrol Unit and the new Division would reinforce strategic responses, bridge existing security gaps, and bolster the fight against criminal activities in the region.

Reiterating his commitment, Hon. Ugbor pledged to continue working in close collaboration with the Nigeria Police Force and other security agencies, rendering support where necessary to safeguard lives and property across his constituency.

SPEAKER NAMES REP. UGBOR CHAIRMAN COMMITTEE ON SINGLE-USE PLASTIC BAN

Speaker House of Representatives Rt. Hon. Tajudeen Abbas has appointed Hon. Terseer Ugbor as Chairman Ad-hoc Committee on Single-Use Plastic Ban in Nigeria.

The committee is mandated to access the preparedness, coordination, and roles of relevant federal agencies in implementing the planned ban on single-use plastics in Nigeria, with a view to ensuring effective enforcement, public awareness, and environmental sustainability.

The committee will also engage with the private sector stakeholders to access their preparedness to eliminate single-use plastics from their operations.

The bold initiative to ban single-use plastics is a significant stride towards combating plastic pollution in Nigeria. According to reports, Nigeria ranks as the ninth-largest contributor to plastic pollution globally, generating approximately 2.5 million tonnes of plastic waste annually. Alarmingly, over 70% of this waste is discarded into landfills, waterways, or the ocean, posing hazards to both the environment and public health.

The Deputy Chairman Committee on Environment will assume the notable role of heading the committee and ensuring the effective implementation of a single-use plastic ban in Nigeria.

Hon. Ugbor has been an advocate for better environmental laws and policies. He sponsored the Endangered Species Conservation and Protection Bill, which has passed in the House of Representatives. He also sponsored the Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) Ammendement Bill. He is also responsible for the End-of-Life Vehicle Regulations amongst others.

Previously, Hon. Ugbor served as Chairman of the Ad-hoc Committee on Student Loans and Access to Higher Education, where he organised the first legislative summit on student loans in the National Assembly and proposed extensive ammendments to the students loans bill which was eventually passed into law.

Hon. Terseer Ugbor is a thorough professional and a consultant in the area of environmental sustainability, resource recovery, and climate change.

REP. UGBOR CELEBRATES WORLD ENVIRONMENT DAY WITH THE PASSAGE OF THE ENDANGERED SPECIES CONSERVATION BILL

The Deputy Chairman Committee on Environment, Hon. Terseer Ugbor is celebrating this year’s World Environment Day with the successful passage of the Nigeria Endangered Species Conservation and Protection Bill, which has completed its third and final reading in the House of Representatives.

The member representing Kwande/Ushongo Federal Constituency, who is the sponsor of the bill, expressed that once assented to by the President, the legislation will address the deficiencies in tracking illicit financial flows and enforce more stringent laws along Nigeria’s borders, bolstering efforts to combat illegal activities.

He asserts, “This landmark legislation will enhance Nigeria’s capacity to address wildlife trafficking, empower Judges to expedite the adjudication of wildlife crime cases, and impose more stringent penalties on offenders.”

Hon. Ugbor emphasized that the bill is pivotal in combating the illegal wildlife trade and safeguarding Nigeria's iconic wildlife populations.

“The bill conveys an unambiguously clear message that Nigeria will not tolerate the exploitation of its borders for the trafficking of illegal wildlife products, such as pangolin scales and elephant tusks. By modernizing our laws, we aspire to ensure that future generations can continue to reap the ecological and economic benefits of our rich biodiversity.”

Furthermore, he stated that coordinated security operations in the open border regions spanning from the southeastern area of the country to the Middle Belt which is a major nexus for transit, will mitigate the influx of unidentified and illegal immigrants, contributing to the reduction of insecurity in the country.

The bill will be presented to the Senate for concurrence and forwarded to the President for final endorsement.

Hon. Ugbor also stated that the bill to repeal and reenact the Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) Act to include the social and health impacts of both public and private sector projects was also underway in the House of Representatives and assured of its timely passage.

The member representing Kwande/Ushongo Federal Constituency extends his profound gratitude to all workers for their achievements and unwavering efforts, affirming that their contributions within the public and private sectors are essential for the growth and development of society.

He regrets that this year's Workers' Day is celebrated at a time when local communities grapple with escalating security challenges. He commends the resilience and dedication of the workers who continue to labor diligently despite the prevailing security issues.

Furthermore, Hon. Ugbor expresses concern regarding the disruptions faced by farm workers due to the actions of invading armed herdsmen, which have led to a decline in productivity.

He implores all workers to remain vigilant while assuring that his efforts, along with the commitment of the Federal Government thus far, will put an end to insecurity in the Constituency and Benue State in general.

REP. UGBOR CALLS FOR COMPREHENSIVE HIGHER EDUCATION REFORMS IN BENUE STATE

The erstwhile chairman Ad-hoc Committee on Student Loans and Access to Higher Education, Hon. Terseer Ugbor, has expressed concern about the current discord surrounding the proposed increase in tuition fees for students at Benue State University and the resistance from the Students Union, which could potentially precipitate an unwarranted strike at the institution.

Rep. Ugbor stated that while it's the prerogative of the Benue State Government to raise school fees to enhance the quality of education, the state government must set up reforms to alleviate the financial burden of disadvantaged students. He cited the economic hardships aggravated by inflation, alongside rising insecurity, both of which have adversely affected the livelihoods of numerous families.

He urged the state government to establish a loan program for Benue students pursuing higher education to complement the Nigeria Education Loan Fund (NELFUND) initiated by President Bola Ahmed Tinubu's administration. He also called for the revival of the Benue State Scholarship Board, which is completely comatose.

The Honourable Member representing Kwande/Ushongo expressed grave concern over the absence of educational policies in Benue that foster higher education. He lamented the lack of rewards for exceptional students and the deficiency of sponsorship for advanced degrees through the Benue Scholarship Board, among other issues.

Rep. Ugbor advocated for a thorough reform of higher education policies in Benue State to promote academic excellence. He asserted that the advancement of education is essential to societal progress, pressing the government to prioritize policies that render the cost of education more affordable and appealing to all students.
