What Tarabans Should Expect in 2025: Gov Kefas

 The Governor of Taraba State, Dr. Agbu Kefas has outlined his administration's plans for 2025, emphasizing continued progress and transformation in critical sectors of the state.

Governor Kefas revealed plans for major road construction projects, including new bridges, urban water supply systems, and the development of modern motor parks and markets, particularly in Jalingo and other key areas of the state.

He said these efforts are aimed at boosting connectivity, facilitating trade, and improving the quality of life for all Tarabans in the new year.

Asserting that peace is the bedrock of development, Governor Kefas stressed the administration's commitment to strengthening security across Taraba State. Through collaboration with security agencies, the establishment of the Joint Intelligence Network, and the expansion of the Taraba Marshall, security was fortified in all 168 wards. In 2025, the governor promised to continue working closely with traditional institutions and neighboring states to maintain and enhance peace across the region.

The governor emphasized that healthcare remains a top priority, particularly for vulnerable groups such as children and pregnant women. In 2025, the government will focus on the completion of new healthcare centers that provide free medical care to those in need. Additionally, the state will expand its maternal health programs and deploy mobile clinics equipped with modern medical facilities to underserved communities. The governor pledged that access to quality healthcare would remain a central theme in the year ahead.

Governor Kefas acknowledged the need to improve Taraba's internally generated revenue (IGR) in order to secure the state's future. In 2025, his administration will focus on optimizing tax collection systems, reducing revenue leakages, and tapping into the state's agricultural, mineral, and tourism potentials. These efforts are expected to bolster the state's financial sustainability and reduce reliance on federal allocations.

Governor Kefas reiterated his commitment to transparency and accountability in governance. The administration will strengthen mechanisms for citizen engagement, ensuring that public resources are spent wisely and that the people's trust is upheld.
