Senator Jimkuta’s Impact: A Lifeline for Southern Taraba’s Youth
Have you ever watched your loved ones struggle for something as basic as education or resources to make a living?
I have.
A few days ago, I was in Wukari for work as directed by His Excellency, Governor Kefas Agbu, and the frustration among parents and students was overwhelming.
The lack of JAMB registration centers in the state is a crisis.
My cousin, had to wait in line for four to five days just to complete her JAMB registration.
But today, we have reason to celebrate - thanks to the distinguished Senator David Jimkuta.
Free Education For All: Why This Matters to Us Tarabans
Here’s what Senator Jimkuta has done for Southern Taraba:
1. Free JAMB Registration for All
This initiative removes financial barriers for students who dream of higher education but struggle to afford JAMB registration fees.
By covering these costs, Senator Jimkuta is making education accessible to every student, aligning perfectly with Governor Kefas Agbu’s vision for free education in Taraba.
2. Complete Renovation of the Wukari General Library
For nearly a decade, the Wukari General Library was abandoned, left in ruins.
Now, thanks to Senator Jimkuta’s efforts, the library is been fully renovated from scratch, providing a modern, well-equipped learning space for students, researchers, and the entire community.
3. Free Farm Equipment, Machinery & Agricultural Support
Farmers are the backbone of Southern Taraba’s economy.
Recognizing this, Senator Jimkuta has distributed modern farm equipment, machinery, and essential resources to farmers across the region.
This will increase productivity, boost local economies, and enhance food security for thousands of families.
As the Founder of IBIFoundry, I believe in recognizing and amplifying the efforts of those who make a difference. Senator Jimkuta’s impact is undeniable.
