Governor Darius Ishaku of Taraba State has said that relative normalcy had returned to the state, and attributed the development to the efforts of the Nigerian Army and other security agencies.
“Taraba State is now witnessing relative security and peace; the people now pursue their activities without fear,” the governor said on Tuesday in Jalingo, when he received the Chief of Army Staff, Lt.-Gen. Tukur Buratai.
Ishaku promised to continue to support the army to discharge its duties in the state, and commended the army chief’s leadership dexterity.

The state shares boundary with the Republic of Cameroon from the Gembu axis.
