Governor Ahmadu Fintiri has appealed to citizens and his associates to avoid lavish ceremonies with the aim of celebrating his birthday, on Friday 27th October.
The Governor however asked for prayers for Adamawa state and the nation at large for stability in all sectors, most especially the economy.
”The people urgently need fiscal space so they can cope with the enormous economic demands unleashed by the removal of fuel subsidy,” Fintiri said.
He notes that he is sensitive to the hardships facing the people as they grapple with the economic effects of the policy direction of the federal government.
“The solution to today’s new and complex challenges requires the strengthening and revitalization of an inclusive governance and policy direction which we are determined to pursue until every community is touched and nobody is left behind,” Governor Fintiri noted
“I am not disposed to celebrating while challenges stare the people in the face. I am a Governor who has human feelings and will not leave anything to chance until all Adamawa citizens are comfortable,” he emphasized.
The Adamawa State Governor therefore directed that prayers be said on Friday in Mosques and Churches on Sunday for peace and harmony in the land amid the challenges of fuel subsidy removal.
