By Oluwatosin Alex

I have written several articles regarding Dr. Agbu Kefas since he won the keenly contested March 18 governorship election in Taraba state. In all these articles, I addressed him as the Governor-elect of Taraba state but now, the title has to change following the smooth inauguration ceremony that was held yesterday Monday, 29th of May, 2023.

Therefore, I would love to first congratulate Dr. Agbu Kefas on his successful inauguration as the duly elected Governor of Taraba state. This has further confirmed that indeed, He was voted for by the good people of Taraba who want rapid change in the affairs of the state. It’s indeed a dream come true not for Governor Agbu Kefas but for the people of Taraba state. Once again, accept my congratulations.

Speaking about the inauguration, the venue of the ceremony, Jolly Nyame Stadium again mirrored the organic love and support the people of Taraba state have for him. The stadium was filled to the brim with shouts of joy as Governor Agbu Kefas took the oath of office and gave his inauguration speech.

For some of the attendees, it wasn’t just an ordinary swearing-in ceremony but a significant event that marks the end of perilous times and the beginning of a new dawn. The event didn’t just have supporters of Governor Agbu Kefas and PDP Chieftains alone, many members of opposition parties, former governors, elder statesmen, senior citizens, youths, and women representatives, among a host of many others, were in attendance. It wasn’t a one-man’s show but an event for the true lovers of Taraba state.

Many who are conversant with Governor Agbu Kefas can testify that he indeed has a great mind, a Midas touch, and extraordinary skills in turning situations around positively. It was only normal for true lovers of Taraba state to storm the inauguration ceremony in the interest of the state.

Governor Agbu Kefas during the inauguration melted the hearts of many when he gave his mind-blowing speech which reiterated his plans for the people of Taraba state and called for support from everyone while acknowledging that the job of governance isn’t a one-man show thing but a collective effort in the interest of Taraba state.

His inauguration speech was not just a ceremonial speech but a statement of hope for the people of Taraba state. Governor Agbu Kefas is loved but was loved more after delivering the masterpiece of a speech at the inauguration ceremony.

Among his promises, He promised to prioritize security, women and youths empowerment, enablement of the disabled, and create an environment where everyone will prosper. Governor Agbu Kefas has never for once deviated from his campaign promises for the people of Taraba state.

Apart from his promises, He made his first appointments yesterday to hit the ground running as promised. It has also been confirmed that within 60 days in office, other appointments will be done for the sake of progress.

Governor Agbu Kefas’ mantra since his campaign days has been ‘Moving Forward’ and undoubtedly, the set time for Taraba state to move forward is NOW.

Dangote Hails Tinubu on Impact of Crude for Naira Swap Deal

 

 

…As Dangote Refinery partners MRS to sell PMS at N935 per litre nationwide at its retail outlets

 

 

Sahara Weekly Unveils That The Foremost entrepreneur and President of the Dangote Industries Limited, Aliko Dangote has commended President Bola Ahmed Tinubu for the positive impact of the naira for crude swap deal on the Nigerian economy, which has led to reduction in prices of petroleum products in the country.

To provide succour to Nigerians, Dangote recently reduced the price of Premium Motor Spirit (PMS) from N970 to N899.50 at its Refinery loading gantry and provided generous credit terms to marketers.

 

 

“To ensure that this price reduction gets to the end consumer, we have signed a partnership with MRS to sell petrol from its retail outlets nationwide at N935 per litre” he added. This price has already commenced in Lagos, and it will be offered nationwide from Monday.

 

 

In his statement, he called on other oil marketers such as the NNPC Retail and all other marketers, “to work with us to ensure that Nigerians enjoy high-quality petrol at discounted prices.”

 

 

According to him, “The Dangote Refinery is for the benefit of Nigeria and Nigerians. We will therefore continue to work with various value chain players to deliver high quality petrol at cheaper prices. Our aim is for all Nigerians to have ready access to high quality petroleum products that are good for their vehicles, good for their health, and good for their pockets.

 

 

Recall that in September, the Federal Executive Council (FEC) under the leadership of Mr. President approved the sale of crude to local refineries in Naira and corresponding purchase of petroleum products in Naira. The move, which commenced on October 1, led to reduced pressure on the dollar and ensured the stability of the local currency.

 

 

Dangote thanked Nigerians for their unwavering support and the government for creating an enabling environment for the domestic refining industry.
