The governor of Taraba state, Dr. Agbu Kefas, has called for a higher level of tolerance among Muslims and adherents of other faiths in the state to ensure continued peaceful co-existence and harmony in the state and even the country at large.

The governor said this in a congratulatory message to Muslims around the state on the occasion of this year’s Eid-El-Fitr. He noted that the vital lessons of sacrifice and discipline of Ramadan should continue even after the exercise. 

Dr. Kefas said the nation needs prayers from all people of faith and more selfless service by both the leadership and ordinary citizens of the country to overcome all of the present challenges currently confronting the nation.

On the urgent need for tolerance, the governor said it was noteworthy that the two main faiths in the country have been celebrating their religious festivals together, a development he noted is good for fostering unity in view of the relationship that exist between them even at different levels, including family and work relationships.

He stressed that Taraba state is one that is strengthened by the diversities across tribes and faiths, noting that with unity, the state can do more in the area of development and progress.

The governor also reiterated his commitment to the payments of gratuities and offsetting all backlogs, while noting that the free education policy has come to stay to build the future of children in the state.
