The commissioner noted that Taraba State been an agrarian state is capable of changing the economic and revenue status of Nigeria through agro produce and is required to have enough access road network linking the areas.

“The massive road construction embarked by the Taraba State government is governor Darius Ishaku’s determination to ensure Taraba become one of the top revenue-producing states in Nigeria.

“We believe that we will get enough from agro produce if road linking is properly done.

“We have constructed so far over 600kms of roads, we are going to do more and all these roads would be completed and commissioned before the end of the administration,” the commissioner assured.
