The Special adviser to the Benue State
Governor on Media and Publicity, Tahav Agerzua
shared this information yesterday.
He said, "Benue State Governor, Samuel Ortom,
today placed order for 20 tricycles assembled
by a state indigine, Mr Stine Chenge, in Gboko.
"He placed the order at the Benue Peoples
House today when Mr Chenge presented one of
the vehicles to him.
"The Governor stated that the order was a
demonstration of his support for the initiative
which he urged other youths to emulate.
According to him, his administration was
committed to collaborating with indigenes and
other partners who had creative ideas that could
contribute to the development of the state.
"He expressed hope that the order would enable
Mr Chenge to produce more of the cycles and
also venture into more production of the brand.

"Making the presentation, Mr Chenge stated that
he came up with the idea to make the tricycles
which he named Wazobiakeke so that
transportation could be more affordable to
farmers in the rural areas in support of the
agricultural program of the Ortom
administration.
He said he chose to use available and
commonly used motorcycles so that users could
readily find the spare parts and repairers.
"Mr Chenge stated that the cost ranged from
N270, 000 according to the number purchased."
