Rev. Fr. Dr. Hyacinth Iormem Alia, born on May 15, 1966, is a distinguished Nigerian Catholic Priest and politician. He assumed office as the Executive Governor of Benue State on May 29, 2023, bringing with him a wealth of experience and a steadfast commitment to progressive governance.
Benue State’s journey to a unified cultural agency reflects decades of administrative refinement. Before 2023, cultural governance suffered under fragmented structures as Departments of Culture and Tourism operated as minor units under the Ministry of Information, with their work treated as an afterthought to state communications.
