Governor Agbu Kefas of Taraba State has again reiterated his administration’s readiness to carry the youths along.
On ascending the number one position in the state on May 29, 2023, the governor, it would be recalled, vowed to appoint no fewer than 80 percent of the youths as Commissioners and Special Advisers.
The governor while flagging off the First Taraba State Youths Summit on Tuesday, in Jalingo, reiterated his commitment to engage the services of youths to facilitate development in the state.
Speaking through the Secretary to the State Government (SSG) Timothy Kataps, the governor said the list of appointees will start coming in within the week.

While congratulating youths spread across the state, he harped on the need for the youths to devote their time to building the future of the state.
Earlier, the chairman of the Summit, Bako Benjamin, noted that “the creation of a fresh new Taraba has kick-started as the governor has offered the youth the opportunity to be empowered.
Urging the youths to put aside their differences and work for the unity of the state, Benjamin said, “Taraba youths will not remain the same” after the summit.
”To succeed you must have a daring mindset and stop spending time in places and with persons that won’t grow you and add value to your life.”

”Taraba is replete with cemeteries of great dreams because of mindset, wrong orientation and what people listen to”.
The chairman who was of the view that technology has become the fastest-growing industry in the world, argued that “If you don’t keep learning and adapt to these new trends, you will be left stranded with your certificates.
“We have to accept the reality in the world now that besides your certificate which confers on you confidence and understanding to some extent, without any specific skills you may face serious struggles to survive.”
