Governor Ahmadu Fintiri of Adamawa State has implemented a minor reshuffle of his executive council, bringing in Leader Leneke to head the Ministry of Information and Strategy. The announcement was made on Wednesday evening through the governor’s Chief Press Secretary, Humwashi Wonosikou, who stated that Leneke’s appointment follows the resignation of James Iliya, who stepped down to pursue a nomination for the Demsa House of Assembly seat.
In addition to the new appointment, two commissioners exchanged portfolios. Sali Idris has been reassigned from the Ministry of Livestock to the Ministry of Agriculture, while Professor David Jatau moves from Agriculture to Livestock. However, Jatau is currently on sick leave, so Usman Lamurde, the Commissioner for Special Duties, will temporarily oversee the Ministry of Livestock until Jatau returns.
Furthermore, Muhammad Chubado, who previously served as Commissioner for Energy Development, has been appointed as the new Commissioner for Health and Human Services. These changes are part of the governor’s ongoing efforts to optimize his cabinet’s performance and address administrative needs within the state.
