BENDISMEA RENAMED TO BITDA AFTER LEGISLATIVE APPROVAL
..Hon. Adagba Praises Decision

The Benue Digital Infrastructure Services Management Enforcement Agency (BENDISMEA) has been renamed Benue Information Technology Development Agency (BITDA) to align with the national agency, NITDA.

The milestone followed deliberations by the Benue State House of Assembly. The process was initiated by the agency’s Director General, Hon. C-itp Solomon Terkimbi Adagba, MNCS, MCPN, to ensure alignment with federal standards.

After rigorous legislative deliberation marked by teamwork and transparency, lawmakers passed the bill. The Speaker of the 10th Assembly, Rt. Hon. Alfred Emberga MNIQS, RQS pronounced BITDA as the legitimate name of the state ICT agency at plenary, bringing BENDISMEA to an end.

Reacting, pioneer DG C-itp Adagba described the development as pivotal to Benue’s digital growth. He applauded the 10th Assembly for effective representation and urged members to sustain the enactment of laws that advance the state’s progress.

Hon. Adagba called on members of the public to familiarise themselves with the change. He assured them that under his leadership, BITDA will deliver on its mandate.

He added that the law establishing BITDA has also been passed, a development he described as a turning point for effective operations.

While appreciating His Excellency, the Executive Governor of Benue State, Rev. Fr. Dr. Hyacinth Iormem Alia, for establishing BITDA and finding him worthy to serve, the BITDA boss said the agency remains committed to building a sustainable tech ecosystem to empower citizens through innovation and good governance.

“We are glad about the success we recorded with the support of the 10th Assembly. We are investing in digital infrastructure and human capital to ensure every citizen has a place in the global digital economy,” he stated.

Honoured to have shared my thoughts yesterday at the SpringCore Africa-Tech-Soar Conference 2026, as a guest speaker on a subject close to my heart: Harnessing the Digital Economy for Youth Empowerment in North-Central Nigeria. We are moving beyond the narrative of just 'fertile lands.' Our youth from Ilorin to Jos, Makurdi to Minna are the architects of Nigeria's digital revolution. The North-Central isn't just a 'bridge'—we are a tech frontier. My challenge to the North-Central Youth: Do not wait for a perfect environment. Build from where you are. Your smartphone is your storefront. My take away: "Digital skills are the new currency of empowerment."

NEW YEAR FELICITATIONS FROM BENDISMEA:

I, Hon. Solomon Terkimbi Adagba, MNCs
Director-General, Benue State Digital Infrastructure Services Management Enforcement Agency (BENDISMEA)

On behalf of the entire management and staff of BENDISMEA, I extend heartfelt New Year felicitations to His Excellency, Rev. Fr. Dr Hyacinth Iormem Alia — Executive Governor of Benue State; His Deputy, Barr. Sam Ode, MNI; the Speaker of the Benue State House of Assembly, Rt. Hon. Alfred Emberga, the Chief Judge of Benue State, Hon. Justice Maurice Ikpambese, the Secretary to the State Government, Hon. Deborah Aber, Esq., the State Head of Service, Dr Moses Agbogbo Ode, and to every citizen, resident, and well-wisher of our beloved Benue State. May this year bring you joy, peace, and abundant blessings.

The year 2025 was a season of mixed emotions — challenges tested our resolve, but through faith, unity, and strategic action, we navigated the storms and emerged stronger. We launched critical policies and programs — most notably, the youth recruitment drive approved by His Excellency — which is now nearing successful completion. This initiative was designed not only to empower our young people but also to restore hope and provide security — and we remain committed to seeing it through.

Under the dynamic leadership of His Excellency, Rev. Fr. Dr Hyacinth Iormem Alia, who has boldly challenged the status quo since assuming office, BENDISMEA has charted forward-looking policies and programs aligned with this administration’s agenda. Our resolve to implement them remains unwavering. We call on every son and daughter of Benue — and all who call this state home — to rally around our Governor, support his transformative agenda, and protect the gains already made. Together, we can bring lasting dividends to our communities.

Already, the Governor has set a bright tone — with swift payment of salaries and pensions, and the revitalisation of critical infrastructure that had languished for decades. These actions signal a new era of accountability and renewal. As we step into 2026, we at BENDISMEA are filled with optimism. We believe — and we are ready — to contribute meaningfully to the digital transformation of Benue State. Our agency holds innovative, tech-driven ideas that will accelerate growth, improve service delivery, and open new frontiers for our people.

May this new year mark the beginning of the Benue we desire — prosperous, peaceful, and powered by innovation. With God’s grace and the visionary leadership of Governor Hyacinth Iormem Alia, PhD, we shall overcome every obstacle. Let us march together for the Benue we desire

Happy New Year to All!
