Taraba state governor, Arch Darius Dickson Ishaku has revealed that occupying the seat of the first citizen of the state is the most difficult job he has ever done.


Ishaku made this known during an interactive section with INFERNO TV, a Taraba-based online media outlet on Sunday while speaking on State Affairs. According to the governor he has held so many positions and offices which include being a consultant, a lecturer and University don, and a minister of the federal republic before emerging as governor in 2015 but being a governor has been more tasking and demanding.


The governor said, while you are trying to solve one issue, another one pops up, while you're dealing with one issue, several issues pop up, and all demand your attention as a leader. He added that it's more of revolving in a cycle.


He, however, stressed the fact that despite the challenges his administration is faced with, he was able to achieve milestone achievements which include the education sector, roads, health, water sector, and lots more.


Talking about criticism, Ishaku said, criticism is part and parcel of him and it makes him stand up to responsibilities and do better. Adding that the success of his administration can be traced greatly to constructive and objective criticism.


However, he said, the criticism should be constructive, objective not a stupid and insensible one.
