Adamawa Assembly approves 50 special advisers for Gov Fintiri

The Adamawa State House of Assembly on Tuesday granted approval to Governor Ahmadu Fintiri to appoint 50 special advisers.

The approval is consequent upon a letter by Governor Fintiri requesting the Assembly for a go-ahead to appoint the advisers.

The approval of the Assembly, given at Tuesday’s session, has been described as a breath of life into the new government of returning Ahmadu Fintiri, whose only appointee so far is a press secretary.

Fintiri has been laying low since the announcement of Mr Humwashi Wonosikou as press secretary during his inauguration dinner on May 29.

Fintiri’s inactivity had been blamed on the loss of his cousin, Malama Laraba Mamman who had died in a road crash while travelling to his inauguration.
