A few days ago, samples of State symbols and flags were displayed for the votes of Benue citizens, (the real owners of the project) by the Benue state symbols screening committee, in a bid to get an identity for the state.
We received loads of suggestions and inputs and necessary modifications have been made and we now re-present to you the final modified entries for your vote which now EXCLUDES FLAGS.
Please kindly note that:
1. We really appreciate your contribution to the success of this programme and your votes will mean a lot moving forward.
2. We cannot satisfy everyone, as we all have diverse views and so the outcome will depend on the majority.
3. Whatever is on any of the symbols now has been debated and concluded based on public opinion and so whatever you say now or not will neither add nor reduce the value of the project so we suggest you choose that which is most agreeable with you and leave the rest out. For instance we asked for an opinion on a critical observation by some citizens. The cross. Out of the 5,883 people that replied, only 146 people opposed it. So going by the majority of the people's opinions, the cross stays.
4. Your choices have been increased from 3 to 5 symbols so that you can have a more robust variety to choose from since Flags are no longer part of the choice.
The committee appreciates you and wishes you the best as you play your part to give our dear state a befitting identity.
Chief Solomon Iorpev
