THE Benue State Government has approved a one-week Easter holiday for public and civil servants across the state, beginning from Tuesday, March 31, 2026.

Governor Hyacinth Alia gave the directive, which took effect from 1 p.m. on the stated date, allowing workers to observe the Easter celebrations.

The announcement was contained in a circular signed by the Permanent Secretary, General Services, Godwin Tighil, on behalf of the Secretary to the State Government (SSG), Deborah Aber.

According to the circular, all affected workers are expected to resume duty on Wednesday, April 8, 2026, after the holiday period.

Part of the statement read that Governor Alia had directed all public and civil servants to embark on the Easter holiday effective Tuesday, March 31, 2026, from 1 p.m.
