Governor Ahmadu Fintiri has approved a minor cabinet reshuffle in Adamawa State, redeploying several commissioners to new ministries as part of efforts to strengthen governance in the state.

The changes were announced in a statement issued on Tuesday by the governor’s Chief Press Secretary, Humwashi Wonosikou.

According to the statement, the reshuffle is aimed at bringing “fresh energy” into the administration as it enters its final phase, while also exposing commissioners to broader areas of government operations.

Under the new arrangement, Sali Idris was moved from the Ministry of Livestock to the Ministry of Agriculture, while 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.

Pending the return of Prof. Jatau, who is currently on sick leave, the Commissioner for Special Duties, Usman Lamurde, will oversee the Ministry of Livestock in an acting capacity.

Fintiri also announced the deployment of newly appointed commissioner Leader Leneke to the Ministry of Information and Strategy following the resignation of James Iliya.

Iliya resigned from the cabinet to pursue his party’s nomination for the Demsa constituency seat in the Adamawa State House of Assembly.
