Before ascending Office in 29 May 2015, Taraba State was heading to extension because of huge backlog of debt collected by previous governments who were on acting capacity. Sorry state in which we have been plunged into and the enormity of the rescue work to be done. Without trading blames, his excellency Arc Darius Dickson Ishaku jump into actions.
He met many abandoned roads at their gestation period, in consonance with global best practice, this administration has taken concrete steps towards ensuring that all abandoned roads in Jalingo metropolis e.g
Nipost and FMC road linked to Teaching Service Board and Main market - Palace way are completed.
He initiated and completed Kona Road, construction of township roads in Magami and many in Takum while many initiated by this government in Lau, Wukari, and Karim Lamido LGA are under construction.
I've confidence that he will do more if second the chance.
On human development I stand to be corrected, Darius Dickson Ishaku displayed
uncommon political dexterity, because no government has empowered the people of Taraba state like the Government of DDI, he employed 3000 secondary school teachers, no past administration has keep this remarkable record.
He discovered and established Ngada Development Area where more than 60,000 thousands souls where living under the mercies of God, upon creation last year, he was able to constructs administrative secretariat in Ngada headquarter in Sunkuru, builds Schools, hospitals, markets, Police station and boreholes. And more than 1500 unemployed people were employed to organize, coordinate, and manage the Development Area.
Before Gov. DDI Ascension to seat, Local government staffs and Primary school teachers in Taraba State morale were at its lowest ebb as they neither were motivated nor assured of a better tomorrow in their chosen career because they Were not been pay for two months before Gov. Ishaku took over. In which they are still owing the state government two months unpaid salaries only.
For someone to compare an oil producing state like Bayelsa and commercial state of Kano with Salary depended state like Taraba and scored Arc Darius Dickson Ishaku low in performance in this economic recession and called for retrieve of VANGUARD NEWS AWARD is a grave injustice.
We live in a world where finding fault in others seems to be the favorite blood sport. It has long been the basis of political campaign strategy and political chicnories against the government of Darius Dickson Ishaku.
In conclusion
Gov. Darius Dickson Ishaku didn't bribe APC apparatus the Nigerian army and Police to give him Peace awards.
But out of his abysmal performance in peace building in Taraba State in which the (likes of Emir Sanusi Lamido) didn't see, they found him worthy likewise VANGUARD NEWS.
Boris M. Madaki.
