Adamawa State governor Ahmadu Fintiri has approved a minor reshuffle of the Adamawa State Executive Council, redeploying several commissioners across key ministries in a move aimed at strengthening governance and improving administrative efficiency.
The development is announced on Tuesday in a statement issued by the Governor’s Chief Press Secretary, Humwashi Wonosikou.
According to the statement, the reshuffle is part of efforts to inject fresh momentum into the administration as it enters the final phase of its tenure.
“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 new redeployments, Sali Idris was moved from the Ministry of Livestock to the Ministry of Agriculture, while Prof. David Jatau was reassigned from the Ministry of Agriculture to the Ministry of Livestock.
Muhammad Chubado, who previously served as Commissioner for Energy Development, has now been redeployed to the Ministry of Health and Human Services.
Meanwhile, the Commissioner for Special Duties, Usman Lamurde, will temporarily oversee the Ministry of Livestock pending the return of Prof. Jatau, who is currently on sick leave.
Governor Fintiri also approved the posting of newly appointed commissioner, Leader Leneke, to the Ministry of Information and Strategy following the resignation of James Iliya.
Iliya stepped down from his position to pursue his party’s nomination for the Demsa constituency seat in the Adamawa State House of Assembly.
The reshuffle comes as the Fintiri administration continues efforts to reposition key sectors and consolidate governance reforms across the state.
