According to a statement on Thursday by his Special Adviser on Media and Publicity, Jerry Iorngaem, Sen Udende congratulated his new aides on their appointment and urged them to put in their best to justify the confidence he has reposed in them, in helping him to deliver democratic dividends to the people.

The Daily Times recalled that Senator Udende had recently moved the Senate to pass a resolution on the continued and unprovoked killings by herdsmen in Benue state.

Consequently, the Senate urged the Service Chiefs and heads of other security agencies to, as a matter of urgency, deploy security personnel to address the continuing and ongoing attacks by armed terrorists parading as herdsmen on communities in Kwande, Ukum, Logo, and Katsina-Ala Local Government Areas of Benue State and to flush them out and restore normalcy to the affected communities.

Also the upper legislative chamber urged the security community to invest in surveillance technology and equipment to detect and prevent future attacks.
The Senate equally called for a review of the security architecture in the affected areas to forestall the continuous attacks.

It also urged the National Emergency Management Agency, NEMA, to immediately mobilise relief materials for the people displaced by these attacks in Kwande, Ukum, Logo, and Katsina-Ala Local Government Areas of Benue State
