Commissioner Barde Hails Gov Kefas' leadership, Calls for prayers for Deputy Governor Alkali

In moments like this, when our state faces both challenges and opportunities, true leadership is measured not only by decisions taken, but by the compassion shown to the people.

I am deeply grateful to His Excellency, Dr. Agbu Kefas, our Governor, for his uncommon leadership, mentorship, patience, and guidance. Serving under his administration is not just a duty, it is an honour. His vision for Taraba State is clear: a united people, a strong economy, and a future where our state is not just among the best in Nigeria, but a shining light in West Africa. His humility and openness inspire me every day to work harder for the progress of our land.

Today, I also join His Excellency in calling on all Tarabans to pray for the speedy recovery of our ailing Deputy Governor, Alhaji Aminu Abdullahi Alkali. To me personally, he is more than a leader,he is a fatherly figure whose kindness, wisdom, and humility have touched countless lives across our state. We ask God, the Great Healer, to grant him full restoration of health, renew his strength, and surround his family with comfort and peace in this moment.

Taraba’s strength has always been in our unity. Let us stand together beyond politics, beyond religious differences,beyond cultural difference and keep faith that our best days are still ahead. With God’s guidance, the dedication of our leaders, and the resilience of our people, Taraba will rise, stronger, and more prosperous than ever.

May God bless our Governor, heal our Deputy Governor, and continue to shine His light on Taraba State.

.#ACReSALRetreat2025 The 5-Day ACReSAL Project-Wide Retreat in Lagos has concluded, bringing together key stakeholders to chart a path forward for sustainable project implementation.

Deliberations centered around crucial aspects, including establishing robust institutional frameworks to sustain project gains and resources, defining the roles of steering and technical committees, results, impacts and work plan activities that contribute to the project's results framework.

Discussions also emphasized strengthening coordination and collaboration, ensuring effective project management, streamlining procurement, compliance, and disbursement processes for results, and prioritizing impact reporting and dissemination.

Participants underscored the importance of policy development, effective monitoring and evaluation, community engagement and participation, risk management, and safeguards.

Furthermore, the retreat highlighted the need for increased efforts in afforestation and the reclamation of degraded landscapes, as well as the implementation of activities based on the recommendations of watershed management plans.

To ensure the project's long-term success, participants agreed on the development of a post-project sustainability strategy and the importance of quarterly meetings among critical stakeholders to enhance speedy project implementation.

A key outcome of the retreat was the consensus that ACReSAL represents an integrated, holistic approach to managing Nigeria's degrading landscapes, with a strong emphasis on its sustainability by providing a coordinating framework backed by law.

This comprehensive approach aims to drive meaningful impact and long-term success for ACReSAL, aligning with its vision for sustainable landscape management in Nigeria.
