GOVERNOR AGBU KEFAS: FATHER OF OUR NEW TARABA

One Month In Office: A Reconnoitre Of Dr. Agbu Kefas’ Giant Strides In Taraba State

 

Fellow Jukun people, scattered across the globe, we stand at the threshold of a new era, one that promises unparalleled hope and a brighter future.

The past four decades have been marred by failed leadership, strife, division, destruction, and the scourge of banditry, leaving our land ravaged and our people dispersed in search of greener pastures.

Yet, in the midst of despair, a beacon of hope emerged in the form of Governor Agbu Kefas, sent by Providence to rescue and restore our beloved Jukun nation.

Despite the entrenched bitterness of political and tribal animosity, even the most skeptical among us cannot deny the tangible signs of progress that now dot our landscape today. Have we forgotten so quickly?

For example, for the first time in over 40 years, a local government area, once the epitome of rural neglect and backwardness, now shines as a testament to transformation.

Ussa Local Government Area boasts a state-of-the-art general hospital, over 200,000 economic trees to stimulate economic growth and alleviate poverty, and a comprehensive road network mapped for construction. This revolutionary development is being replicated across all local government areas in southern, central, and northern Taraba.

However, the fact that a Jukun son is at the helm of this historic transformation has ignited resentment and jealousy in certain quarters.

Those who seek to dominate, enslave, and impoverish our people have vowed to destroy everything we hold dear, rather than share our collective heritage. They kidnap our people, extort ransom, and unleash terror to thwart our progress.

In the face of such adversity, I urge you to remain steadfast and unwavering in your support for Governor Agbu Kefas, who possesses the vision and leadership to guide us toward a brighter future.

Our enemies seek to sabotage his efforts and discredit his achievements, but we must not lend them a listening ear, for they offer nothing but darkness and despair. Let us unite behind our leader and march forward together, toward a future that is rightfully ours.

Governor Agbu Kefas has unequivocally demonstrated his exceptional wisdom and leadership prowess, earning him the revered stature of the father of our newly revitalized Taraba. His visionary guidance has ushered in an era of unprecedented progress, uniting our people and propelling our state toward a brighter future.

In light of his remarkable achievements, it is imperative that we stand in unwavering support of our leader, recognizing that opposition to his noble endeavors would be tantamount to opposing the collective well-being of our people. Let us present a united front, solidifying our stance behind Governor Agbu Kefas, and resolutely declaring that any attempt to hinder his progress would be met with our collective disapproval.

Through our shared commitment to his leadership, we reaffirm our trust in his ability to navigate the complexities of our state’s development, and we pledge to stand by him as he continues to shape the destiny of our beloved Taraba.

The 2026 Nigerian Bank Recapitalization: Where Does Your Bank Stand?

Published

Leading Fintech Expert, Jesam Micheal Applauds Tinubu For Lifting Ban On Cryptocurrency, Charges Nigerians To Embrace AAS Token
The countdown to March 31, 2026, has officially entered its final stretch. While you might have seen headlines claiming only 19 banks have met the mark, the reality on the ground is much more dynamic. In fact, as of January 2026, we have seen a surge of compliance, with approximately 22 out of 34 banks now having their licenses “secured” under the Central Bank of Nigeria’s (CBN) new rules.
If you are wondering where your money is or if your bank is safe, here is the fact-driven breakdown of the current banking landscape, correcting common misconceptions along the way.
Recapitalised banks
The CBN set a high bar of ₦500 billion for international banks and ₦200 billion for National banks. Crucially, this must be “paid-up capital”, banks cannot count their saved profits (retained earnings) toward this goal.
These banks are recapitalised:
Access Bank, Zenith Bank, GTBank, UBA, First Bank and Fidelity: These banks have crossed the N500 billion finish line and have secured their international licence.
FCMB, Wema, Standard Chartered, Citibank: These banks have officially secured their national license, with FCMB in the final sprint to hit the ₦500 billion to secure its international banking licence.
Other secured banks: Stanbic IBTC, Sterling Bank, Providus Bank, Globus Bank, and Premium Trust Bank have all officially cleared the requirement.
Mergers and downgrades
The story of the 2026 recapitalization also featured mergers, acquisitions, and downgrades:
Unity Bank and Providus Bank are in the final stages of a merger that will create a top 10 Nigerian lender. Similarly, Titan Trust has completed its integration with Union Bank to solidify its capital base.
Nova Bank chose a Regional License (₦50 billion) to focus specifically on being a high-end niche player, a healthy business move.
Non-Interest banking: Islamic banks like Jaiz, Taj, and Lotus have all met their ₦20 billion requirement, proving that niche banking is stronger than ever.
For the few banks still in the “red zone,” the next 80 days will involve final-hour mergers or private equity injections. For you, the customer, this means a banking sector that is tougher, more transparent, and better funded than ever before.

How Primate Ayodele Foretold Collapse Of School Building In Ikorodu, Lagos

W’ Cup Qualifiers: How Super Eagles Coach Ruined Nigeria’s Chances by Ignoring Primate Ayodele’s Warnings* By Adedayo Olumide

Residents of the Odo-Kekere Community in the Ikorodu area of Lagos State, on Thursday evening, were thrown into panic following the sudden partial collapse of a structure in a local public school in the area.

According to a source, a section of the school building gave way late Thursday with a thunderous sound that drew neighbours to the scene.

First responders from the Lagos State Emergency Management Agency, LASEMA, and the Lagos State Building Control Agency LASBCA, raced to the scene promptly and cordoned off the area for safety purposes.

This development has no doubt fulfilled the prophecy of Nigerian prophet, Primate Elijah Ayodele, which he shared in his annual prophecy book titled Warnings To The Nations (2025/2026) edition.

On page 108 of the prophecy book, Primate Ayodele warned against collapse of any school building in Nigeria.

“Schools in Nigeria: Let us pray so that no school will be attacked in Nigeria and that a school building will not collapse.”

Also, in his 2026 prophecies, he asked Nigerians to commit Lagos schools into God’s hands.

“Let us commit schools in Lagos to God’s hands against all attack” (Page 5).

Furthermore, in a video shared on his social media page, Primate Ayodele specifically mentioned that Nigerians should pray not to see a building collapse in Lagos.

“Let us pray not to see a school building collapse in Lagos state, Oyo, Abuja, Ogun state. Let the government go around schools and quickly demolish deplorable school buildings.”

All these have fulfilled the prophecy of Primate Ayodele.
