Gov. Agbu Kefas of Taraba has declared a state of emergency on basic and post-basic education in the state.

Mr Kefas promised to introduce motivations to enhance the welfare of the teachers.
He assured the people of the protection of lives and property, adding that security would be his top most priority.
The governor also promised to adopt Peer Review Mechanism in allocation of projects to local government areas, stressing that people would be allowed to choose their areas of priority in developmental projects.

“They are the ones who voted us and as such, we should engage them in project locations. This would make us serve them better,’ he said.
