He has ordered immediate renovation in some of these schools with decrepit structures, in fulfillment of his promise to bring about a reform in the sector.
Apart from the secondary schools, Dr. Agbu Kefas made an unscheduled visit to Taraba state university earlier today and announced a 50% decrease in school fees for all students.
He also inspected the female hostels and ordered a renovation to create a conducive environment of learning for the people.
Within 39 days, several jobs have been created and the economy of Taraba state has been buzzing.
Just yesterday, it was announced that Jalingo airport will commence direct flights to Dubai and Lagos from next week.
The airport which was just recently opened will employ thousands of Taraba state indigenes and boost the economy of the state certainly.
Even though some insecurity issues persist, Dr. Agbu Kefas has shown his commitment to ending insecurity in the state with his collaboration with several security agencies.
He recently appointed a new chairman of Taraba Marshall and has also been in talks with external security agencies to put an end to the insecurity menace. In a few months, insecurity in Taraba state will come to an end.
