The Chairman of the North East Governors’ Forum (NEGF) and Governor of Borno State, Professor Babagana Umara Zulum, on Saturday, 30th August 2025, commissioned the remodeled and upgraded Taraba Green House Project in Jalingo.

“This initiative will not only benefit Taraba but the entire North East and humanity at large. It is a step in the right direction towards achieving sustainable development in our region,” Zulum stated.

Governor Agbu Kefas, while expressing appreciation to his colleagues for their support, reaffirmed his administration’s determination to prioritize agriculture, describing it as a major driver of economic diversification and rural empowerment in Taraba State.

The remodeled Green House Project is expected to serve as a model of modern agricultural practice, providing improved seedlings, training for farmers, and enhancing food supply chains within the region.
