Adamawa State Governor, Ahmadu Fintiri, has approved a minor reshuffle of his cabinet, redeploying commissioners across key ministries in what his administration described as a move to strengthen governance and improve service delivery.
The adjustment was announced on Tuesday, May 19, in a statement issued by the Chief Press Secretary to the Governor, Humwashi Wonosikou.
The statement explained that the decision is intended to refresh the administration and enhance performance as it progresses into its final phase in office.
“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 reshuffling, Sali Idris has been transferred from the Ministry of Livestock to the Ministry of Agriculture, while Prof. David Jatau moves in the opposite direction, from Agriculture to Livestock.

Muhammad Chubado, who previously served as Commissioner for Energy Development, has been reassigned to the Ministry of Health and Human Services.
The government also announced that the Commissioner for Special Duties, Usman Lamurde, will temporarily oversee the Ministry of Livestock pending the return of Prof. Jatau, who is currently on sick leave.
In another adjustment, newly appointed commissioner Leader Leneke has been assigned to the Ministry of Information and Strategy following the resignation of James Iliya.
Iliya stepped down from his position to pursue the All Progressives Congress ticket for the Demsa constituency in the Adamawa State House of Assembly.
The government said the reshuffle is part of broader efforts to improve coordination across ministries and enhance overall efficiency in public service delivery.
