Development could only flourish in an environment of peace, according to the SGF, who was represented by Francis Kyenge, Director of Administration in his office.
The former governor of Benue State praised the Tiv people for paying tribute to Tor-Agbidye, whom he said exemplified the modern generation’s medical and scientific acumen.
