The Governor of Adamawa State, Ahmadu Umaru Fintiri, has approved a minor cabinet reshuffle involving the reassignment of commissioners to different ministries.
In a statement issued on Wednesday by the Chief Press Secretary to the Governor, Humwashi Wonosikou, the governor said the changes were aimed at injecting fresh energy into governance as the administration enters its final phase.
“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,” Fintiri said.
Under the new arrangement, 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.
The governor also redeployed Muhammad Chubado, former Commissioner for Energy Development, to serve as Commissioner for Health and Human Services.
According to the statement, the Commissioner for Special Duties, Usman Lamurde, will oversee the Ministry of Livestock pending the return of Prof. Jatau, who is currently on sick leave.
Fintiri further assigned the newly appointed commissioner, Leader Leneke, to head the Ministry of Information and Strategy following the resignation of James Iliya.
Iliya resigned his appointment to seek nomination for the Demsa State House of Assembly seat.
