CHQ Makurdi.

The Father Alia Hall of Fame (FAHOF) officially announces a significant evolution in its recognition framework, formally retiring the "Order of Alia" hierarchy and introducing the newly established "Sovereign Luminary Stars of Excellence" honours system.

This restructuring marks a pivotal moment for the institution, reflecting its commitment to a more meticulously defined and globally resonant standard of honour. While the nomenclature and structure have changed, the institution wishes to assure the public and the honourees that the legacy of past recognitions remains untarnished.

All previous inductees of the "Order of Alia" remain valid and respected members of the Father Alia Hall of Fame (FAHOF) Community. To celebrate this transition and formally integrate these distinguished individuals into the new system, all former inductees will be reissued their corresponding honours during the official 2026 Induction Ceremony.

INTRODUCING THE SOVEREIGN LUMINARY STARS OF EXCELLENCE

The Sovereign Luminary Stars of Excellence now constitutes the highest order of merit within the Father Alia Hall of Fame (FAHOF). It is a meticulously structured hierarchy designed not merely to acknowledge, but to enshrine the contributions of those exceptional individuals who illuminate the path for humanity. More than an award, it is an investiture into a legacy, recognizing a broad spectrum of achievers, from dedicated community builders to pioneering visionaries and transformative heroes.

The three ranks within the Sovereign Luminary Stars represent a distinct and ascending level of commitment, influence, and enduring achievement. To ascend through its grades is to have one's life's work measured against the highest standards of excellence, integrity, and service.

The ranks are defined as follows:

1. Member of the Sovereign Luminary Stars (MSLS): Conferred upon individuals who have demonstrated sustained and meritorious commitment to their community or profession. They are the pillars of progress whose leadership and impact have begun to extend beyond their immediate sphere.

2. Paragon of the Sovereign Luminary Stars (PSLS): Reserved for visionaries whose achievements and leadership have had a profound and transformative effect on a national or international scale. This exceptional rank honours rare individuals whose impact is monumental and multi-dimensional, embodying an extraordinary synergy of talent, character, and service.

3. Sovereign Luminary Star (SLS): The apex of the hierarchy, reserved for a select few whose contributions are of such historic magnitude that they have fundamentally illuminated the human experience for generations.

Together, these three ranks form a comprehensive framework for honoring a lifetime of contribution, ensuring that every level of meaningful impact is recognized with the dignity and permanence it deserves.

The Foundation looks forward to celebrating its legacy honorees and new inductees under this distinguished banner in 2026.

Respectfully,
Damkor, Henry Ternenge
Executive Director,

USING RIVER BENUE WATERS FOR RECREATIONAL ACTIVITIES

Benue State has an abundance of inland waters. A significant proportion of the region, including much of the coast is designated for its environmental value, while most of the region is low-lying and prone to flooding and likely impacts of climate change.

Strategic links between river Benue and some of the major rivers in Nigeria is amazing and could create fantastic recreation environment for tourists. Nearly 45 percent of adult population now spend some of their leisure time enjoying water related recreation.

The most popular activities are walking, swimming and visits to the beach, boating, angling and other water recreation activities are increasing in popularity with adult population now participating regularly.

There has been a significant growth in water recreation (participation in coarse angling, open swimming, some canoe disciplines, sub-aqua and rowing, with indications that participation in motor boating will go well if facilities are available.

Notwithstanding the economic climate, participation in most water related recreation activities is expected to grow further in Benue State. This will be underpinned by continuing social change.

River Benue waters will not only provide the first major new build of a waterway for generations, but it will also fulfil a long ambition to link the waterways. It will also link a number of powered water sports venues.

Interestingly, it will add heavily to the IGR of Benue State if well managed as proposed by Association of Benue Entertainers (ABE) Worldwide.

I remain,
