Benue State Governor, Samuel Ortom, on Wednesday said he had directed the Executive Secretary of the  State Universal Basic Education Board, Philip Attachin, to give the school in the country home of late Elizabeth Ochanya a facelift.

Ortom, who stated this during an interaction with journalists in Makurdi, added that the school would be named after the girl. Recall that the 13-year-old Elizabeth Ochanya died of complications arising from the rape allegedly carried out by a father and son.

“I have instructed the SUBEB boss to give facelift to the LGEA primary school, Ogene Amejo in Okpokwu local government area where the late Ochanya who was allegedly r-ped by her uncle and son had her primary education.

“We shall provide all instructional materials for the school and name it after her,” Ortom said.
