Governor Ishaku Assured of Peace in Taraba


Taraba Governor, Arch. Darius Dickson Ishaku has assured the people of the state that he will achieve peace in Taraba State.
The Governor gave the assurance when the Tiv peace committee paid him a thank you visit in his office in Jalingo.
Ishaku said his administration was doing everything possible to ensure that permanent peace is restored in the state.
“I am glad you have come to thank me. The act of appreciation is Biblical and it’s good to commend leaders when they do good.
“I will keep telling people to give me peace and I will give them development.
“I have done a lot and I have plans for the state but that can only happen when there is peace. Without peace, all the awards I have received will be useless.
“I won the water man 2018 and even few weeks ago I had a visual meeting with USAID on how to improve water supply in Taraba. But without peace, we can not achieve anything,” he said.
Earlier, Mrs. Bridget Twar thanked the Governor for approving resources for the evaluation of Tiv IDPs who were trapped in Kurmi.

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.
