Benue State Governor Hyacinth Alia appoints Dr. Eunice Ogbenyi as Acting Head of Service (HoS) for the state, following the death of the previous HoS, Dr. Agbogbo Ode. Multiple outlets report that the appointment is made through the governor’s approval and takes effect in an acting capacity rather than a permanent appointment. The reports frame the move as a replacement to ensure continuity in the state civil service administration after the vacancy created by the late HoS. While the coverage confirms Ogbenyi’s name and the acting role, it does not provide additional details in the supplied excerpts about her prior positions, tenure length, or specific duties beyond leading the HoS function in the interim. The announcements consistently identify the governor as Hyacinth Alia and cite Dr. Agbogbo Ode’s death as the immediate reason for appointing a successor in an acting capacity.
