The Governor of Taraba State, Darius Ishaku, has claimed there is a plan to attack the state in the next 10 days. The governor said that the information had been passed to security agencies, but that he was not aware that any action had been taken. Ishaku made this disclosure in Jalingo on Thursday when he received members of the National Working Committee of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) who paid him a sympathy visit on the death of a member of the state House of Assembly, Hosea Ibi. The governor told the PDP delegation, which was led by the National Chairman of the party, Uche Secondus, that peace had become unreachable in the state. He said, “When I assumed office, I asked my people to give me peace and that I would give development in return. Peace is elusive in Taraba, but we have development. Here I am as a governor with a crown, but without a sword.

“You call police and security agencies for help, they will tell you they need to clear from Abuja before acting. Before you know it, you have lost 100 people.“When you call for help, the help takes ages to come. We need to restructure the security architecture of this country. You take one step forward as the governor, the almighty Federal Government takes you back 10 miles. “The police we have can’t help themselves. In 10 days’ time, we will be attacked. Helicopters dropped arms here at night for hoodlums.“We will talk because if the Federal Government cannot help us, let those who can help us come to our aid.“Our farmers cannot travel at night with their goods to neighbouring states to sell again. God gave us good land, but we lack common sense.

“I’m talking now since writing has not produced the desired results. Some of these things are not meant to be said, but we will henceforth be talking.”The governor said, “We buried 63 people at Lau, the same day that Benue State buried 73 of its people. We are in trouble in this country.“If our voices are not heard in Abuja, they can be heard in Kano, Niger Republic, United States of America and other places.” Secondus had earlier said that he and members of his team were in the state to condole with the people on the death of the lawmaker. He blamed the Federal Government for the insecurity in the country, saying “the first duty of any government is to provide security for its citizens.”Secondus called on to members of the National Assembly to investigate those behind the alleged dropping of arms and expose the perpetrators. He also urged the Federal Government to review the country’s security architecture to arrest the senseless killings in the country.

The newly appointed Minister of Education, Dr. Tunji Alausa, has announced the removal of the 18-year age limit for admission into tertiary institutions in Nigeria.

He also indicated the possibility of a comprehensive review of the nation’s education policy.

However, Alausa made it clear that there would be no reversal of the Federal Government’s decision to invalidate over 22,700 degree certificates acquired by Nigerians from unrecognized universities in neighboring Togo and the Benin Republic.

Speaking at his inaugural ministerial press conference in Abuja on Wednesday, Alausa emphasized that practical education is key to tackling Nigeria’s unemployment crisis. He stated that tertiary institutions must stop producing graduates without ensuring job opportunities for them.

The minister also revealed plans for the federal government to partner with private sector players to provide training opportunities for students and help them realize their full potential.

Additionally, Alausa announced that universities focused on agriculture would be empowered to implement commercial farming practices as part of efforts to address the country’s food security challenges.
