The Benue State Governor ,Hyacinth Alia, is making significant strides in its recovery efforts for victims of the June 2025 Yelewata attacks with the administration combining immediate humanitarian support and a structured resettlement programme aimed at restoring stability, dignity, and livelihoods to affected families.
As part of its urgent relief measures, the state government has disbursed ₦56 million in direct cash aid to one thousand verified households, providing ₦50,000 each to support families in meeting essential needs such as food, medicine, and small-scale trade.
It has also deployed a specialized technical committee to verify beneficiaries and ensure accountability, guaranteeing that every naira reaches its intended recipients.
According to a statement by the Technical Adviser to the Governor on Media, Publicity and Strategic Communication, Solomon Iorpev ,the resettlement programme focuses on returning families to their ancestral lands, with 5,883 internally displaced persons (IDPs) enrolled in the Benue State Health Insurance Scheme just as new medical and sanitation facilities are under construction to improve public health
To support the resettlement efforts, the administration is building 60 new two-bedroom homes and classroom blocks in Yelewata, replacing overcrowded camps with structured communities.
So far, 53 out of the 60 have reached lintel level as these coordinated measures demonstrate Governor Alia's commitment to establishing Benue as a national benchmark for humane, data-driven resettlement and sustainable community recovery.
The statement says through these initiatives, the Benue State Government is working towards restoring stability, dignity, and livelihoods to affected families, and promoting a brighter future for the people of Yelewata and the state as a whole.
