Gov’t will partner traditional rulers to tackle challenges – Gov Kefas

Taraba State Governor Agbu Kefas has reiterated the need for synergy between local council chairmen and traditional rulers in tackling some of the challenges in their communities.

He stressed that community leaders must play a central role in finding lasting solutions to the challenges facing their respective domains and the state in general.
