Benue Gov appoints Eunice Ogbenyi as Acting Head of Service
The Governor of Benue State, Hyacinth Alia, has approved the appointment of Dr Ihu Eunice Ogbenyi as the Acting Head of Service (HoS) of the state.
The appointment follows the death of the former Head of Service, Agbogbo Ode, who served in the position from 2023 until his passing in 2026.
Dr Ogbenyi, who comes from Oju Local Government Area of Benue State and was born on June 12, 1973, was previously the Permanent Secretary in the Ministry of Lands and Survey before her new elevation.
She is expected to take over administrative leadership of the state civil service in an acting capacity.
She began her civil service career after being employed into the Benue State Teaching Service Board in 1998 as Principal Assistant Education Officer (PAEO II). She was later deployed in February 2012 to the Ministry of Education.
Over the years, she rose through the ranks, serving as Deputy Director of Education in the Department of Planning, Research and Statistics (DPRS), where she headed the Joint Consultative Committees on Education/National Council on Education (JCCE/NCE) unit, as well as assisting in the Education Management Information System (EMIS) unit.
Academically, she obtained her Nigeria Certificate in Education (NCE) in Mathematics/Physics in 1996 from the College of Education, Oju. She later earned a B.Sc. in 2005, a Master’s degree in 2010, and a Ph.D. in 2021, all in Mathematics Education from the Fr. Adasu University, Makurdi.
While congratulating the new Acting Head of Service, Governor Alia charged her to uphold professionalism, discipline, and service delivery in the discharge of her duties.
“As you assume this critical role, I charge you with the responsibilities, principles, and priorities that will guide your stewardship and ensure continuity, professionalism, and service to the public,” the governor stated.
He further urged her to ensure that all official actions align with the vision and reform agenda of his administration, stressing the need to uphold the sanctity of the office and prioritise the interest of the state in all dealings.
