Taraba Rice Milling Firm To Begin Operation December – Gov. Ishaku—-Gov. Darius Ishaku of Taraba on Friday said that the Taraba International Milling Company (TIMC) would commence rice milling operations in December.

Ishaku made the disclosure during a working visit to the company site in Gassol town, Gossol Local Government Area.

The governor said that the company had great potential to boost rice production and marketing the state.

He said that the machines for the firm had been installed and were ready to commence milling operations.

”It is also our hope that the rice milling firm will add value to our efforts towards economic growth,” he said.

He said that the state government had already sought the Federal Government’s partnership for the supply of rice in the country.

”The firm is our own contribution to Federal Government’s move to stop rice importation by improving local production,” he said.

Ishaku further said that the state government was making plans to establish a military base around the firm to ensure adequate security.

”We are aware of the possible security challenges. We are considering setting up a military base to handle any eventual challenge,” he said.

Speaking to newsmen, Mr Sony Chen, the Chief Engineer, Wizchina Worldwide Engineering Ltd, said that the road leading to the company was already 30 per cent completed.

He expressed the commitment of the company to complete the road project according to schedule

SC Freiburg Make History with Dominant Win Over Celta Vigo to Reach Europa League Semis—-Freiburg booked a historic place in the UEFA Europa League semi-finals for the first time after a commanding 3-1 win over Celta Vigo, sealing a 6-1 aggregate triumph.

Julian Schuster’s side, who carried a 3-0 advantage from the first leg in Germany, finished the job in style away from home with goals from Igor Matanović and a brace by Yuito Suzuki.

Freiburg effectively ended the contest before half-time, scoring twice in quick succession. Matanović opened the scoring in the 33rd minute with a powerful volley after a clever build-up involving Matthias Ginter and Jordy Makengo.

Suzuki doubled the lead six minutes later, combining neatly with Jan-Niklas Beste before finishing calmly. The Japanese midfielder added his second early in the second half, converting from close range after a flowing team move set up by Vincenzo Grifo.

Celta Vigo managed a late consolation through Williot Swedberg, but it did little to change the outcome as Freiburg cruised through.

Having already broken new ground by reaching the quarter-finals, Freiburg now advance to their first-ever European semi-final, where they will face either Real Betis or Sporting Braga.

2027 Elections: Atiku Abubakar Backs Consensus Candidate for African Democratic Congress, Keeps Primaries as Option—-Former Vice President Atiku Abubakar says the African Democratic Congress (ADC) will prioritise a consensus approach in selecting its presidential candidate for the 2027 general elections, but may conduct primaries if internal talks fail.

Speaking on a prime-time programme on Arise TV, Atiku explained that party leaders are working to avoid internal disputes by rallying around a single candidate through dialogue and agreement.

He expressed confidence that stakeholders would reach a common ground, noting that experienced politicians within the party understand the importance of unity.

According to him, the ADC is focused on strengthening Nigeria’s democracy, with members committed to managing differences without causing division.

Atiku also reiterated his willingness to support whoever emerges as the party’s flagbearer, regardless of the selection method.

He further stated that he is open to stepping aside for any aspirant, including Peter Obi, if they emerge as the preferred choice, emphasizing that unity within the party remains the top priority ahead of the 2027 elections.
