Taraba State governor, Dr Agbu Kefas, has sponsored key government officials for a one-week intensive leadership and peace training at the Martin Luther Agwai International Leadership and Peacekeeping Centre, Jaji, Kaduna State. The beneficiaries include members of the state House of Assembly, permanent secretaries and chairmen of the 16 local government areas. Other participants are members of the Taraba State Independent Electoral Commission (TSIEC), officials of the Bureau for Local Government and Chieftaincy Affairs, as well as political advisers to the state government. The commissioner said the Kefas administration remained committed to “building people, strengthening institutions and preparing Taraba for a more peaceful, capable and prosperous future.” She explained that, the training was particularly important given the strategic roles played by the participants in governance, local administration, electoral management and policy implementation across the state.
