The Taraba State Governor, Dr Agbu Kefas, has expressed his commitment to ensure affordable and effective movement of people within the state through an effective and efficient transportation system.
The Governor disclosed this in China during a visit to the JAC New Energy office.

In a Press Statement, the Special Adviser to the Taraba State Governor on Media and Digital Communications, Mr Emmanuel Bello said Dr. Kefas has revealed that Taraba is poised to procure state of the art buses to ease inter state transportation and cut down on the cost of traveling by the citizenry.
“School buses would also be bought to cover schools all over the state as a major component of the free education package”.
Mr Emmanuel Bello explained that the visit was also planned to afford the governor a first-hand experience with the cutting-edge technology of the JAC group, especially the electronic vehicles that will reduce reliance on fossil fuels.
“Consequently, Dr. Kefas notes that Taraba state is working hard to cut over dependence on petroleum by finding cheaper and more affordable sources of energy through electronic devices and vehicles”.
During the visit, the JAC group honoured Dr Kefas by inviting him to officially cut the ribbons on the unveiling of the first 300 electronic cars of the 3000 purchased by the United Arab Emirates, UAE.
JAC said it recognized Dr. Kefas as a distinguished international personality.
