Governor Ahmadu Umaru Fintiri has warned appointees against anti-party activities and disloyalty. His administration is entering its final year in office.
He issued the caution on Thursday at the Government House in Yola. Members of the State Executive Council and Permanent Secretaries were receiving Sallah greetings from him.
Loyalty and unity are essential for good governance, Fintiri stressed. Internal sabotage or political distractions could damage what his government has accomplished.
Public office is a sacred trust, according to the governor. Those who betray that confidence today won't earn credibility later.
Officials must focus on service delivery, not personal political ambitions. The governor made this clear during the engagement.
Even in its final year, the administration won't slow down. Greater commitment is required from all government workers.
Fintiri's remaining time will focus on completing ongoing projects statewide. Reforms to strengthen institutions are also on the agenda.
Education, infrastructure, and healthcare sectors will see improved service delivery. He listed these as priority areas for consolidation.
A smooth and peaceful transition awaits Adamawa State, Fintiri assured residents. Democratic principles will guide the handover process.
Developmental gains must be protected and sustained by the people. He described the state as a collective project beyond any single leader.
Deputy Governor Professor Kaletapwa George Farauta led the delegation to pay homage. He praised Fintiri as visionary and courageous.
Despite political and economic challenges, the governor has steered the state well. Farauta noted his successful leadership of Adamawa affairs.
