The Benue state Government has immortalized Benue born media Icon Late Dan Agbese by renaming the Benue printing and publishing company, publishers of the Voice newspapers as Dan Agbese publishing company.
State Governor Hyacinth Alia disclosed this when he received the remains of the late Dan Agbese in Makurdi the state capital.
This he said is to expedite action on the announcement he made earlier during a live broadcast marking the Golden Jubilee anniversary of Benue State, immortalizing the late icon.
The renaming is expected to institutionalize excellence in public communication, preserve Chief Agbese’s legacy and inspire future generations to pursue truth and service with courage and professionalism.
