The coordinator didn't only stop at enlightenment campaign but went further to encourage the people to engage in serious farming activities. According to him, the coronavirus pandemic would leave the world with serious famine which will come as the result of the drowning world economy following the lockdown measures imposed by countries across the globe towards containing the pandemic. He stated that the aftermath of the coronavirus pandemic would result to a serious hunger which will be more devastating than the covid-19 herself.

During his inter-community tour on covid-19 enlightenment, the coordinator used the avenue to inspect some ongoing projects initiated by him.

The coordinator week after week was also involved mobilizing and posting members of the vigilante group and the Taraba Marshall to the various entering points to NGADA where he mounted checkpoints to avoid illegal coming in of people into the area during the lockdown. During the mobilization exercise, Nagombe cited the exemplary pragmatic action taken by the state governor, Arc. Darius Dickson Ishaku by ordering for a total lockdown and closure of Taraba state boarders with Cameron and other neighbouring states in the federation, the action that has helped in the quarantine of some people coming to the state who were later tested positve to covid-19. He maintain the exercise up to the time of filling this report as he shuffles them from week to week.
In another Development, Nagombe saved a lady's life during his visits to the various communities in the area. This life-saving adventure occurred in Bente Sama in Goh zone. According to facts gathered, the lady was involved in a deliberate intake of poisonous substance in an effort to commit suicide following a dispute that ensued between her parents and her over the issue of her getting married or going to school.
