Gov Fintiri Approves Minor Cabinet Reshuffle

Adamawa State governor, Alhaji Ahmadu Umaru Fintiri, has announced a minor cabinet reshuffle.

Fintiri said, “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.”

Two commissioners swapped portfolios: Sali Idris moves from the Ministry of Livestock to the Ministry of Agriculture, while Prof. David Jatau takes over the Ministry of Livestock from Agriculture.

Muhammad Chubado, former commissioner for Energy Development, is now the commissioner for Health and Human Services.

In the interim, the commissioner for Special Duties, Usman Lamurde, will oversee the Ministry of Livestock pending the return of Prof. Jatau, who is on sick leave.

The governor also assigned the newly appointed commissioner, Leader Leneke, to take charge of the Ministry of Information and Strategy following the resignation of James Iliya, who is seeking nomination to contest for the Demsa House of Assembly seat.
