NEMA Distributes Relief Materials To IDPs In Taraba

The National Emergency Management Agency (NEMA) has distributed additional relief materials worth over N5 million to the internally displaced persons (IDPs) camps in Mutum-Biyu, near Jalingo.

The director general of the agency, Alhaji Muhammed Sani-Sidi yesterday presented the items to the IDPs’ camps in Tudun Haske, Sabongari, Anguwar Tike, Kan-Kwana and Bayan Kasuwa in Gassol local government areas of Taraba State.

Sidi told the IDPs that the federal government was not only committed to alleviating their sufferings but was also making concerted efforts to restore peace to all troubled communities across the country.

“These relief materials are not a compensation for the loss you have incurred, they are to further alleviate your suffering in the camps while the federal government tackles the insurgency and communal crisis in the country.

“I urge you to forgive one another and embrace peace to pave way for development in your communities for a better Nigeria,” he said.

Taraba Begins ₦5,000 Deduction for Teachers’ Permanent Identity Cards

The Taraba State Universal Basic Education Board (TSUBEB) has initiated a ₦5,000 deduction from teachers as part of arrangements for the production of Permanent Identity Cards for teachers across the state. According to UBEC, the identity cards are expected to strengthen staff records, improve security and enhance administrative efficiency in the management of teachers across Taraba State. UBEC further said the Permanent Identity Card project is also expected to assist the state government in developing an accurate and verifiable database of teachers. Such a database will provide Governor Agbu Kefas with reliable information on personnel within the basic education system and support more effective planning, monitoring and personnel management. The initiative is therefore expected to strengthen security measures, improve staff verification and provide a more efficient system for managing personnel across Taraba State’s basic education sector.
