Taraba state is a very interesting one.
Aside being the only Christian majority state upward of Abuja (“North”), the state is relatively liberal and is ethnically not a Hausa-Fulani majority.
Just a few more tweaks and this state could be a home for tourism and economic strides https://t.co/XLTFeXcbO1
