From Godwin Agia, Jalingo

Taraba state governor, Dr. Agbu Kefas on Monday said, he inherited an empty treasury from his predecessor Darius Ishaku.
Governor Kefas disclosed this while speaking at the flagging off ceremony of a (5) days professional development workshop for secretaries in ministry, departments and agencies in Taraba.
According to the governor, his predecessor, Darius Ishaku left nothing in the state treasury for his administration to build governance foundation on.
Represented by the state head of civil service, Mrs. Suzy Nathan, expressed that despite the challenging financial situation the administration met on ground since May 29, 2023, it has made sure that employee salaries are paid on time.
“I inherited an empty treasury from my predecessor Darius Ishaku. Since I took over as governor of Taraba on may 29, 2023, I met no Kobo in the state treasury.
“Despite the challenging financial situation I met on ground, I made sure that employee salaries are paid on time. We prioritize our pensioners pension, and we have also added those who had previously been off the payroll, allowing them to continue receiving their monthly pensions without interruption.
“We will soon conduct a thorough biometric data capture to establish the true size of the workforce, its strengths and limitations, and where to improve through additional employment of our talented young men and women in a transparent manner. In the same vein, we will continue to prioritize employee promotion and welfare”.
