Bola Ahmed Tinubu on Monday described major capital projects executed by Ahmadu Umaru Fintiri as legacy investments designed to serve both present and future generations.
Tinubu made the remarks during a one-day working visit to Adamawa State, where he commissioned a number of strategic projects undertaken by the Fintiri administration.
The President’s visit marked a significant moment in Yola as he inaugurated projects spanning education, road infrastructure and the judiciary, which he said reflected a commitment to inclusive and sustainable development.
His first port of call was the commissioning of the Yola North Model Secondary School, one of several model schools constructed across the state’s 21 local government areas to improve educational standards and expand access to quality learning.
Tinubu also inaugurated the Bekaji Underpass, the expanded Galadima Aminu Way, an ultra-modern High Court Complex and the newly constructed Governor’s Office at the Government House, Yola.
Speaking after the ceremonies, the President thanked the government and people of Adamawa State for the warm reception accorded him and his entourage.
He commended Fintiri for what he described as bold and visionary leadership, noting that the projects constituted enduring investments capable of transforming the state’s socio-economic landscape.
In his remarks, Fintiri expressed appreciation to the President for honouring the state with his visit and acknowledged the continued support of the Federal Government.
He disclosed that the construction of model secondary schools across the 21 local government areas cost over ₦24 billion, while the Bekaji Underpass and expansion of Galadima Aminu Way were executed at a cost exceeding ₦15 billion, alongside other completed projects.
The governor reaffirmed his administration’s commitment to sustained infrastructural development and pledged continued support for the Tinubu-led Federal Government.
The event attracted governors from the North-East, the governor of Plateau State and traditional rulers from across Adamawa, marking a milestone in the state’s development drive.
