The Executive Governor of Taraba State, Arc. Darius Dickson Ishaku has said that his administration is poised towards ensuring the security of lives and property of the citizenry.
Arc. Dickson Ishaku made the remarks in Jalingo while commissioning ten Hilux Vehicles donated to the State Government by the Zenith Bank plc for security patrols.

Earlier, the Zonal manager of the Zenith Bank Karl Akwarandu said the donation of the ten hilux vehicles was part of the Bank’s corporate Social responsibility to the people of the state for their patronage as well as a support to the Governor’s efforts towards achieving lasting peace in the state.
Responding on behalf of the beneficiaries, the Acting Commissioner of Police in the State, Bello Ahmed appreciated the Governor and Zenith Bank for the gesture, assuring that the vehicles will be judiciously used for the purpose intended.
