The Benue chapter of the All Progressives Congress (APC) has commenced distribution of gadgets to local government supervisors and ward agents for the party’s e-registration exercise.

Speaking at the event on Monday in Makurdi, James Ornguga, state coordinator of the APC e-registration exercise, said they have sufficient gadgets for the exercise.

Mr Ornguga said the gadgets were procured by Governor Hyacinth Alia to ease the operations.

The state coordinator stated that 1,428 6000mAh battery-powered phones, HP Smart Tank Wireless Printers, HP Laptops, and internet-supported MiFis would be distributed.

He said that a total of five agents would be used for the exercise per ward.

Mr Ornguga noted that the state was already ahead of 16 states in the e-registration chart, adding that they planned to be in the top five in the coming two weeks.

The state coordinator announced that Vandiekya was currently topping the e-registration chart for Benue councils.

Earlier, the APC state chairman, Benjamin Omale, urged the supervisors and ward agents to take the exercise seriously.
