Adamawa State Governor, Ahmadu Fintiri, has approved a minor reshuffle of his cabinet, redeploying commissioners across different ministries in a bid to strengthen governance in the state.
The development was contained in a statement issued on Tuesday by the Chief Press Secretary to the Governor, Humwashi Wonosikou.
According to the statement, the governor said the changes were intended to inject fresh energy into his administration as it 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,” the statement read.
Under the reshuffle, Sali Idris was moved from the Ministry of Livestock to the Ministry of Agriculture, while Prof. David Jatau was redeployed from Agriculture to the Ministry of Livestock.
Governor Fintiri also reassigned Muhammad Chubado, former Commissioner for Energy Development, to the Ministry of 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 currently on sick leave.
The governor further announced the deployment of newly appointed commissioner, Leader Leneke, to the Ministry of Information and Strategy following the resignation of James Iliya.
Iliya reportedly resigned his position to pursue the nomination of his party for the Demsa constituency seat in the State House of Assembly.
The administration said the reshuffle is part of ongoing efforts to improve efficiency, broaden experience among commissioners, and strengthen service delivery across key sectors in the state.
