Merged the pre-existing State Community Volunteer Guards and State Livestock Guard into a single 10,000-strong outfit, the Benue State Civil Protection Guard (BSCPG), with the Deputy Governor's office overseeing its establishment, and later engaged ex-servicemen from the military, police, and NSCDC to strengthen its command structure.

5,000 officers were formally launched in December 2024, with recruitment continuing toward the full 10,000-strong target; the outfit has not prevented continued large-scale violence, including the June 2025 Yelwata massacre.

Launched a formal state IDP Policy intended to move the government's response to displacement from short-term relief distribution toward durable, long-term resettlement solutions.

Provided a policy framework for resettlement efforts, including 80 families returning to ancestral homes in Makurdi by November 2025; the state's overall IDP population remained substantial as of this update.

Dissolved the state executive council, sacking commissioners and other appointees.

Reset a portion of the administration's senior team; several sacked officials, including a former Water Resources commissioner, later faced separate EFCC probe petitions from Benue residents.

Approved the appointment of Dr. Ihu Eunice Ogbenyi, previously Permanent Secretary in the Ministry of Lands and Survey, as Acting Head of Service following the death of the substantive Head of Service, Dr. Moses Agbogbo Ode.

Ensured continuity in the state civil service's administrative leadership.

Directed that all outstanding pensions and gratuities owed to retirees for the 2023-2025 period be cleared by the end of January 2026.

Followed years of retirees needing to win National Industrial Court orders to compel payment; whether the January 2026 deadline was fully met was not independently verified for this entry.
