Maurice Orwough Hemen

Hon. Maurice Orwough is the Executive Chairman of Guma Local Government Area and former ALGON Chairman for Benue State, elected in October 2024. His leadership is marked by strong advocacy for rebuilding infrastructure destroyed by conflict—schools, hospitals, homes—and delivering grassroots support such as a 200-student scholarship scheme. Amid ongoing security challenges, he has relocated his office temporarily to safer areas and initiated steps to strengthen local security institutions. His administration emphasizes restoring normalcy, community welfare, and education in a region deeply affected by displacement and destruction.
