Taraba State in Nigeria is stepping up its efforts to reduce maternal mortality rates by implementing RMNCAH (Reproductive, Maternal, Newborn, Child, and Adolescent Health) training programs.
The Nigeria Centre for Disease Control (NCDC) announced that 85% of confirmed Lassa fever cases this year are concentrated in five states: Bauchi, Ondo, Taraba, Benue, and Edo, according to its latest situation report for Epidemiological Week 10.

Czech politicians, including Petr Macinka of the Motorists party, are being criticized for advocating policies that would weaken nature protection, drawing comparisons to Slovak politician Taraba and raising concerns about the future of environmental policy in the Czech Republic.
Residents in Taraba State, Nigeria, have praised security forces for successfully overpowering local militias, bringing an end to their activities in the region.
