Agbu Kefas |
Taraba State Governor Agbu Kefas has offered free medical treatment for traditional leaders in the state.
Kefas made the announcement Thursday in Jalingo, the state capital, at the state Bureau for Local Government and Chieftaincy Affairs.
He stated that traditional leaders with first, second, or third-class status could go for treatment at any hospital of their choice, with the state government footing the expense.
"The health of our royal fathers is very important, and I am committed to their welfare, especially as it relates to the grassroots," added the governor.
Mr Emmanuel Bello, Special Adviser to the Governor on Media and Digital Communication, said the governor's gesture was consistent with his respect for traditional rulers.
