Adamawa State’s new governor, Ahmadu Fintiri, has sworn in his cabinet and warned them to go to work or face removal from office.
The governor issued the directive on Thursday during the swearing-in ceremony for the 24 commissioners that the state legislature had approved for him the week before.
During the swearing-in event in Yola’s Banquet Hall of the Government House, Fintiri declared, “We are setting up a governance delivery machinery with key performance indicators that will periodically be utilized to measure you.
We will accept nothing but the best. I shall not hesitate to find someone else to fill your position if your work is ever judged to be subpar.
According to the media, the state House of Assembly confirmed Governor Ahmadu Fintiri’s commissioner nominees last Thursday, after receiving the governor’s nominations on July 27.
Adamu Atiku, who served as Commissioner for Works during Fintiri’s first term and continues in that role, Dr. Umar Pella, who served as Commissioner of Information and will now lead the Ministry of Education, and Abdullahi Prambe, who led the Ministry of Community and Rural Infrastructure, were all confirmed nominees and sworn in on Thursday.
Mary Augustina Wandhamiya, Commissioner for Finance; Mrs. Nedo Geoffery Kofulto, Commissioner for Information & Strategy; and Wunfe Anthony, Commissioner for Women & Social Development, are three of the fresh new commissioners who happen to be women.
