Governor Ahmadu Fintiri on Wednesday signed the Adamawa State’s fiscal appropriation bill into law amidst concerns over insecurity.
Concerns for security have been high in recent days around the state, prompting the governor earlier in the day to announce the cancellation of a widely advertised musical concert arranged to mark the entrance into the new year 2026.
The governor consequently appended his signature to the 2026 appropriation bill Wednesday afternoon recommitting himself to more efforts at securing the state.
Fintiri said the government would in particular deploy some of the trained forest guards who graduated recently to Hong Local Government Area where Boko Haram attacks have recently been rife.
The 2026 budget which was approved by the state House of Assembly and which the governor in turn signed at the Government House Wednesday comprises N209.64 billion for recurrent expenditure, representing 35.94 per cent of the total estimate, and N373.69 billion for capital projects, accounting for 64.06 per cent of total budget.
Fintiri said the budget is anchored on strategic priorities, including strengthening infrastructure, expanding education and healthcare services, enhancing job creation, and supporting citizens’ welfare
