We have worked closely together, and I am pleased that he has moved forward in his career ,” Dr Danjuma said.
The new chairman reaffirmed the forum’s resolve to continue supporting the administration of Governor Agbu Kefas in achieving the vision and mission of the Taraba State Government.
He urged members to remain united and committed to advancing government policies and programmes through the forum.
Dr Danjuma also wished the outgoing chairman success in his future endeavours, noting that continuity, collaboration and collective responsibility would remain the guiding principles of the forum under his leadership.
