Benue State Governor, Hyacinth Alia, has said the state is the least developed among the 19 states in the northern part of Nigeria.
Alia made the declaration on Friday when he broke Ramadan fast with Muslim faithful in Makurdi.
He vowed, however, that the situation must change as his administration was determined to embark on developmental projects that would put Benue in a pride of place among other states in the country.
“Out of the 19 northern states, Benue is one of the very least developed. It is just now that we are even installing solar streetlights.
