In his message, Taraba State Governor, Darius Ishaku urged the people of the state not to allow the lessons of 2020 to elude them but rather use the lessons and experiences to guide their actions and decisions in this year.  Ishaku in a New Year message to the people of the state also urged citizens of the state to forgive one another and make peace with their neighbours.
