Some have questioned why Governor Agbu Kefas has chosen to focus on the renovation and completion of long-abandoned projects instead of launching entirely new ones. To those critics, let’s respond with reason, responsibility, and the truth.
You don’t start building a new house when the one you inherited is halfway built and already paid for. That’s not innovation- that’s waste. And Governor Kefas is not here to waste the resources of Taraba State. He is here to rebuild trust, restore functionality, and set a solid foundation for future progress.
Across the state, dilapidated infrastructure left behind by past administrations stood as painful reminders of neglect and poor planning. Institutions like the School of Nursing, hostels, the airport, the palliative market, and even the Government House were in a state of disrepair- abandoned midway despite the huge public funds already spent on them.
Rather than turning a blind eye or seeking applause by initiating brand-new, headline-grabbing projects, Governor Kefas chose the harder but more honorable path: to finish what others left behind. He understands that governance is not about personal glory; it’s about continuity, responsibility, and service to the people.
What good is starting a new project when others remain incomplete? What does it say about leadership if every new administration tears down what the previous one started just to make room for its own legacy?
Those who demand new projects must realize this truth: you cannot reject continuity in governance and expect continuity in entitlement. Let’s work in synergy for betterment and moving Taraba forward.
This is not a lack of vision. It is, in fact, the clearest proof of vision. A vision that is people-centered, fiscally responsible, and focused on long-term impact. He is ensuring that the public’s money works for the public, not just for political optics.
Governor Kefas’ intentions are genuine. He is not building for applause. He is building for generations. His mission is to raise a Taraba where systems work, structures last, and leadership is measured by impact- not fanfare.
The work may not be flashy, but it is foundational. And in due time, when the abandoned becomes functional, and when the forgotten becomes fruitful, all will see that Governor Kefas chose the path of legacy over noise.
