Bello said that job creation and security matters are top priority issues next year.
He said, “The security of lives and properties has always been a major agenda of Governor Agbu Kefas. As a military man himself, this is an area he holds very dear. And now that he is a democratically elected leader, he has made this one of his many challenges.
“Taraba State, in the last year, has experienced increased safety. This budget shows the administration would spend more next year to continue to address other emerging challenges of security.
“With security comes more opportunities for investments and job creation. Agriculture will also blossom in that atmosphere. This is why everyone is excited at the bigger prospect of the new budget.”
