Gov. Fintiri Commences Local Government Councils Tour, Reaffirms Infrastructure Drive

Governor Ahmadu Umaru Fintiri of Adamawa State has commenced a statewide tour of the 21 local government councils, aimed at deepening grassroots engagement, assessing development projects, and strengthening the bond between government and the people.

The tour, which combines town-hall style interactions with project commissioning and inspection of ongoing works, is designed to give the Governor first-hand insight into local needs while also allowing communities to appraise government performance.

According to the Governor, the exercise underscores his administration’s belief that governance must be people-centered and responsive at the grassroots.

Ganye Local Government Area marked the first stop of the tour, where Governor Fintiri reaffirmed his administration’s unwavering commitment to infrastructure development across Adamawa State. Speaking during a one-day visit at the Gangwari Square, the Governor addressed youths, women, traditional rulers, and other stakeholders, outlining key policies and programmes of his government.

He highlighted free and compulsory education, youth and women empowerment initiatives, and job creation as core pillars of his administration, noting that these interventions are designed to improve living standards and expand economic opportunities for residents.

Governor Fintiri emphasized that over the past six and a half years, his administration has made substantial investments in critical infrastructure, particularly in road construction, healthcare, and public facilities. He cited the completion of the Ganye–Sanga Sumi road as a landmark achievement that has improved connectivity, boosted commerce, and eased movement for residents of the area.

As part of the visit, the Governor commissioned several completed projects in  Ganye Local Government.

The local government tour is expected to continue across the remaining councils, with similar engagements, project commissioning, and on-the-spot assessments, as the Fintiri administration pushes forward its development agenda and consolidates grassroots support across the state.

Fintiri Urges Corps Members on Discipline, Unity, Skills Acquisition

Governor Ahmadu Umaru Fintiri has charged corps members deployed to Adamawa State to embrace discipline, national unity and skills acquisition, stressing that the National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) programme remains a vital platform for grooming responsible and productive young Nigerians.

The governor gave the charge at the opening ceremony of the 2026 Batch A, Stream I NYSC orientation course held at the NYSC Permanent Orientation Camp, Damare, in Gerei Local Government Area. He spoke through his deputy, Professor Kaletapwa George Farauta.

Governor Fintiri explained that the deployment of corps members outside their states of origin was a deliberate policy of the NYSC aimed at fostering mutual understanding, tolerance and national integration among youths from diverse cultural and ethnic backgrounds.

He congratulated the corps members on their successful mobilisation, describing them as a privileged group of young Nigerians brought together by a shared commitment to service, sacrifice and national development.

The governor encouraged them to interact freely, exchange ideas and build lasting relationships that would strengthen national unity. He also urged the corps members to fully utilise the skills acquisition and entrepreneurship development programmes in camp, noting that such training would empower them to become self-reliant and economically productive.

In a major disclosure, Governor Fintiri announced that construction work was progressing steadily on a permanent NYSC Orientation Camp at Malkohi, in Yola South Local Government Area. He said the project, when completed, would provide a safer, more secure and conducive environment for corps members and camp officials.

According to him, the proposed camp is being designed to meet modern standards, improve operational efficiency and guarantee the comfort and safety of corps members posted to the state.

The governor also assured the corps members that his administration was mindful of the prevailing economic challenges in the country and had introduced measures to cushion their effects. He urged them to reciprocate government’s support by exhibiting discipline, diligence and perseverance at their places of primary assignment.

Earlier, the Adamawa State NYSC Coordinator, Mrs. Osoroh Caroline Chinedu, commended Governor Fintiri for his consistent support and commitment to the NYSC scheme, noting that corps members in the state remained dedicated to contributing meaningfully to its development.

She also praised the state government for ensuring the welfare of corps members through adequate feeding and the provision of a secure and enabling environment at the orientation camp.

In his remarks, the Commissioner for Youth and Sports Development, Barrister Wali Yakubu, who also serves as Chairman of the NYSC Governing Board in the state, applauded the Fintiri administration for maintaining a peaceful atmosphere for corps members in Adamawa.

Barrister Yakubu advised the corps members to take full advantage of the camp’s skills acquisition and entrepreneurship programmes in order to prepare themselves as job creators rather than job seekers after their service year.

The highlight of the ceremony was the administration of the oath of allegiance on the corps members by the Chief Judge of Adamawa State, Justice Hafsat Abdulrahman, represented by Justice Helen Hammanjoda.
