As Nigerians commemorate Democracy Day, the Bwacha Media Team has questioned the performance of Governor Agbu Kefas' administration, asking whether Taraba State is genuinely moving forward or simply "moving in circles" despite increased government spending and repeated promises of development.

In a statement released on Thursday, the group argued that three years into the Kefas administration, many of the challenges facing residents—including poor infrastructure, inadequate healthcare services, unemployment, and limited economic opportunities—remain largely unresolved.

The group acknowledged some of the administration's initiatives, including the declaration of free education and ongoing projects across various sectors, but maintained that citizens are more interested in measurable results than policy announcements and public relations campaigns.

According to the statement, concerns remain over the state's growing debt profile despite increased federal allocations since the removal of fuel subsidy. It argued that citizens deserve greater transparency regarding public spending, project execution, and the overall impact of government policies on their daily lives.

On education, the Bwacha Media Team noted that while school enrolment has increased significantly under the free education policy, many schools continue to struggle with overcrowded classrooms and inadequate learning facilities.

The group also questioned the state of healthcare delivery, citing concerns over the functionality of primary healthcare centres and access to quality medical services, despite substantial budgetary allocations to the sector in recent years.

Similarly, it expressed dissatisfaction with the pace of infrastructure development, pointing to major road projects that are yet to be completed and the continued difficulties faced by farmers and businesses due to poor transportation networks.

The statement further raised concerns about youth empowerment, energy, tourism, agriculture, and judicial reforms, arguing that many initiatives highlighted by the government remain at the planning or implementation stage three years into the administration.

According to the group, several of the promises outlined in Governor Kefas' recent anniversary address were key commitments made during the 2023 election campaign and should already be producing visible outcomes.

The Bwacha Media Team concluded by urging Tarabans to critically assess the administration's performance and determine whether the state has witnessed genuine progress or a cycle of recurring promises and unfinished projects.

"The ultimate verdict belongs to the people of Taraba State," the statement said.
