Jauro who is also Chairman of the Association of Local Governments of Nigeria (ALGON), Taraba State chapter,
stressed the importance of local government councils focusing on grassroots development to address the underdevelopment of local communities.

The Taraba LGA boss highlighted the critical role of local government councils in addressing the needs of the masses and suggested a development approach aimed at achieving the desired goals.
He attributed the lack of significant development at the grassroots level to negligence.
Jauro urged the newly appointed appointees to embrace their roles as frontline representatives and work diligently to ensure equitable development across all communities.
He commended Kefas, for prioritising grassroots development, his commitment towards poverty alleviation, and fostering inclusive governance.
Finally, he addressed allegations recently made against him by a group regarding his appointments, stating that all accusations were found to be false and baseless and reaffirmed his commitment to all-inclusive governance.
