In a statement, she congratulated Christians in Taraba on witnessing this year’s celebration.

Aisha said the fact that the Eid-el-Maulud and Christmas were celebrated a day apart should cause adherents of the two major religions; Christianity and Islam to embrace one another and live in peace at all times.

She prayed that the teachings and significance of the season will not be lost on the people, but will remain with them now and always.

She also urged all well-to-do people to remember the less privileged, especially displaced persons during this festive season.

Hajia Aisha also called on mothers of the kidnapped Chibok girls to be strong and remain hopeful, while urging security operatives to do their best and ensure that the girls are recovered alive.

Aisha, who was recently returned as governor of the state by the tribunal maintained that the development which the people desire can only be achieved in an atmosphere of peace.

She called on her supporters to be patient and steer clear of violence, adding that when she assumes office she would deliver the much desired dividends of democracy.

She expressed optimism that the Appeal court will uphold the tribunal ruling, adding that it is only a matter of time before “the people are delivered from the shackles of bad governance”.

She added that one of her priorities on assumption of office will be to unite the people.

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.
