Fintiri Approves Minor Cabinet Reshuffle In Adamawa

Adamawa State governor, Ahmadu Umaru Fintiri, has approved a minor cabinet reshuffle involving the reassignment of commissioners and changes in ministerial portfolios.

Announcing the development, Governor Fintiri said the changes were aimed at strengthening governance during the final phase of his administration.

“The changes are designed to harness fresh energy for the government’s final lap, bring new insights, and give commissioners a broader, more rounded experience of government,” the governor said.

As part of the reshuffle, Sali Idris was moved from the Ministry of Livestock to the Ministry of Agriculture, while Prof. David Jatau was reassigned from Agriculture to the Ministry of Livestock.

Muhammad Chubado, who previously served as Commissioner for Energy Development, was redeployed to the Ministry of Health and Human Services.

The governor also directed the Commissioner for Special Duties, Usman Lamurde, to oversee the Ministry of Livestock pending the return of Prof. Jatau, who is currently on sick leave.

In another development, the newly- appointed commissioner, Leader Leneke, was assigned to head the Ministry of Information and Strategy following the resignation of James Iliya.

Iliya resigned his appointment to pursue the nomination of his party for the Demsa State Constituency seat in the Adamawa State House of Assembly.
