Benue State Governor, Rev. Fr. Hyacinth Iormem Alia, on Thursday, inaugurated a Judicial Commission of Inquiry to review the sale, lease, and management of government-owned assets, companies, markets, and inactive industries across the state.

The newly constituted panel is headed by retired Justice Samson Itodo, who took the oath of office at the Exco Extension Hall, Government House, Makurdi.
