Taraba state Governor, Agbu Kefas
Taraba State Governor, Dr. Agbu Kefas, on Sunday, commenced a statewide tour to engage directly with communities and identify their infrastructural needs.
Speaking at an interactive session with journalists at the Exco Chambers in Jalingo, the governor explained that the initiative is rooted in his belief that genuine development must reflect the needs and aspirations of the people.
“I am visiting the masters that I am here to serve and listen to. By October, we will embark on full-scale infrastructural development across the state, but the people need to tell us what their priorities are. That is the only way to deliver projects that are genuine and meet the needs of communities,” he said.
He noted that he inherited a state without a master plan, stressing that “Genuine development cannot take place without a roadmap or plan of action.”
On security, Kefas stated that his administration has been investing heavily to keep Taraba safe for residents and attract investors. He described security as a “non-negotiable foundation” for sustainable development.
The governor also highlighted reforms in the health sector, including the revival of primary healthcare centres across the state.
He revealed that new medical equipment and drugs have been Acquired while a CT scan machine is expected to be installed soon at the State Specialist Hospital, Jalingo.
He further said his government has been committed to completing abandoned projects inherited from the previous administration. According to him, significant progress has been recorded at the School of Nursing and Midwifery, the Abattoir, and the Palliative Market, among others.
The tour, he added, would provide a platform for residents to guide government decisions on infrastructure, ensuring transparency, accountability, and inclusiveness in governance.
