The Governor of Taraba State, Dr Agbu Kefas, has promised to redouble his efforts in tackling the challenges affecting community development in the state.
Kefas made the promise as part of activities marking his one year in office, even as he organised a thanksgiving service to appreciate God at Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN) secretariat Sunday in Jalingo, Taraba State.
The governor, in his appreciation to God generously quoted verses from the Holy Bible.
Speaker Taraba State House of Assembly, Rt. Hon. John Kizito Bonzena, and the Chief Judge of Taraba State, Hon. Justice Joel Filibus Agya, were some of his government’s principal officers who graced the occasion with prayers.
Delivering the sermon , the minister in charge, Rev. Dr Philip Dopah said thanksgiving is an act of worship that every individual should use to show gratitude and appreciation to God for abundant blessings.
Dopah further disclosed that thanksgiving is a thing of joy that christians should use as an integral part of their lives to glorify God.
In his welcome speech, CAN Chairman, Taraba State, Rev. Dr. Isaiah Jirapye Magaji, expressed appreciation to Gov Kefas’ leadership style based on his slogan, “Moving Forward”.
The clergy appealed to the governor to appoint Special Advisers, Senior Special Assistants, board members, and technical assistants, to ensure unity among the people. He also appealed for scholarship to students interested in higher education in the state.
In the same vein, the Acting Rector, Taraba State Polytechnic, Dr. Amos Agbu Danlami, has applauded the policies of the governor, especially the free education, or the reduction of tuition fees, where appropriate, as well as infrastructural development, among others.
