The Taraba State Government has pledged its full support for the immediate establishment of the newly created Nigerian Army 10 Division in Jalingo, offering land and other critical infrastructure required for its take-off.
The commitment was made on Monday when a delegation from the Army Headquarters, Abuja, led by Major General I. O. Bassey visited the state to assess available facilities, verify resources and engage the state government on the requirements for establishing the new division.
Representing Governor Agbu Kefas, the Secretary to the Taraba State Government, Barrister Gebon Timothy Kataps, said the state was delighted by the decision to establish the Army division in Jalingo and was prepared to work closely with military authorities to ensure its immediate take-off.
Kataps said the protection of lives and property remained a major priority of the state government, adding that the administration would support initiatives capable of strengthening security across Taraba.
