In his efforts to intensify the security situation in Taraba State, Governor, Dr. Agbu Kefas on Monday 18th September, 2023 visited military and paramilitary formations in a bid to recalibrate the security architecture to effectively protect the lives and property of the citizens.

The Governor underlined that his administration will not let its guard down in the fight against insecurity so that citizens can sleep with their two eyes closed.

The Governor described the visit as a follow-up visit since the security chiefs had previously visited.
