Taraba State map

My Vision

To strive for enduring solution to the multifaceted socio-economic and political difficulties of Taraba South and together with my colleagues come out with laws that will make Nigeria a better country.

My Mission

Determined to make a difference, I shall stimulate rapid, even and sustainable development of Taraba South into a region that is economically prosperous, socially stable, environmentally regenerative and politically peaceful.

Preamble

As you already know, I was inaugurated into the 6th Senate of the Federal Republic of Nigeria on June 5th, 2007 to represent Taraba South Senatorial District through the instrumentality of your overwhelming votes. The mandate is for four years which subsists till May 29th, 2011. Hence that June 5th, 2007 began a new chapter in our struggle for an egalitarian Wukari Senatorial District devoid of acrimony but filled with milk and honey.

You will recall that during electioneering campaign, we promised to give you effective, pragmatic, qualitative and purposeful representation such that will regenerate confidence in elected leaders with a view to putting smiles on your faces vide people-oriented legislations and programmes.

The path of my ascension of power was very tortuous and even after my assumption of office the monumental trauma still rages on six months into the tenure period. Notwithstanding, I am keeping faith with my avowed mission of pursuing the following cardinal programmes:

  1. Enhancement of Agriculture
  2. Advancement of Qualitative Education
  3. Promotion of Healthcare Delivery System
  4. Provision of Portable Water
  5. Human Development of our Rural Dwellers
  6. Stimulating Social Infrastructures
  7. Facilitation of Political Cohesion
