This disclosure was made by the State Governor, Samuel Ortom at the Government House Makurdi, when he received a report of the State Steering Committee on the Establishment of the Center for Infectious and Tropical Disease, College of Health Sciences, Benue State University.
The Governor stated that a Committee would be set up to facilitate the establishment of the College of Engineering at the institution.
