Adamawa gov, Fintiri reshuffles cabinet, redeploys commissioners 

Ahmadu Fintiri, governor of Adamawa state has approved a minor cabinet reshuffle, redeploying several commissioners across ministries.

The changes were announced in a statement issued on Tuesday by Humwashi Wonosikou, the governor’s chief press secretary who said the redeployments were aimed at repositioning the government as it enters the final phase of its tenure.

According to the statement, the reshuffle is intended to provide commissioners with broader administrative exposure while improving service delivery across key sectors.

“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 arrangement, 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.

The governor also reassigned Muhammad Chubado from the ministry of energy development to the ministry of health and human services as part of the restructuring.

Meanwhile, Usman Lamurde, the commissioner for special duties has been directed to oversee the ministry of livestock pending the return of Prof. Jatau, who is currently on sick leave.

Fintiri further approved the deployment of Leader Leneke, newly appointed commissioner to the ministry of information and strategy following the resignation of James Iliya., former commissioner.

Iliya had stepped down from office to pursue the nomination ticket of his party for the Demsa constituency seat in the Adamawa state house of assembly ahead of the next election cycle.
