The Governor of Taraba State, Agbu Kefas, has approved N500m for youth start-up support as part of efforts to tackle unemployment and promote economic growth in the state.
Kefas announced this on Friday in a statewide broadcast in Jalingo to mark his third anniversary in office, saying the empowerment programme would commence in June 2026.
The governor said the initiative formed part of broader reforms targeted at youth inclusion, infrastructure development and economic expansion.
“Our administration strongly believes that the future of Taraba State depends largely on the empowerment and development of young people,” Kefas said.
