The Benue State House of Assembly has passed a resolution, calling on the executive Governor of Benue State, Hyacinth Alia, to suspend the Chairman, State Universal Basic Education Board ,SUBEB, Dr Grace Adagba for a period of six months.
The house also directed the Special Adviser, Bureau for Local Government and Chieftaincy Affairs, Mr Denen Aondoakaa to stop releasing funds to the board.
Mover of the motion, Bemdoo Ipusu informed the house that the Chairman had refused to honour the adhoc committee constituted by the house to investigate her illegal activities at the board.

Contributing, members expressed strong displeasure over the SUBEB Chairman’s behaviour and urged the House to recommend her immediate suspension.
