GOVERNOR FINTIRI SIGNS INTO LAW NEW SEAL FOR THE STATE

Adamawa State Governor, Rt. Hon. Ahmadu Umaru Fintiri, CON, has assented to a new Bill to be cited as “A Bill For A Law To Create The Seal Of Adamawa And Regulate Its Use 2025.”

The landmark legislation provides for the creation, regulation, and protection of the Seal of Adamawa State. The new law marks a historic step in preserving the State’s identity, authority, and cultural heritage.

The Seal, now formally recognized as the official emblem of the Government of Adamawa State, will serve as a unifying symbol of the State’s authority, heritage, and aspirations.

“This law reinforces our commitment to good governance, order, and respect for our cultural values. It is not just a Seal, but a statement of identity, dignity, and responsibility for all who serve under it,” Governor Fintiri stated.

The Seal is reserved strictly for official government purposes and may be authorized for commemorative, historical, or educational uses by the designated authority.

The Governor warned against wrongful use of the Seal for commercial advertisements, political campaigns, or any purpose that may bring the Government into disrepute, adding that the unauthorized imitation, reproduction, or distribution of the Seal is forbidden.

The Law also provides that individuals or corporate bodies seeking approval to use the Seal must apply through the designated authority. Approvals, if granted, will be time-bound and clearly specified.

In the event of any misuse, individuals shall pay a fine of ₦250,000 or serve two years’ imprisonment, or both, while corporate bodies are to pay ₦1,000,000, in addition to potential further legal action.

The Seal embodies Adamawa State’s rich history, cultural strength, and economic vibrancy, represented through carefully chosen symbols, which include:

1. Kakaki – Power, authority, and royalty.
2. Spear – Our warrior heritage and past victories.
3. Horse – Royalty, courage, strength, and deep tradition.
4. 21 Stars – All 21 Local Government Areas of Adamawa State.
5. Lion – Chiefdoms, strength, and leadership.
6. Book & Academic Hat – Intellectual capacity and educational pursuit.
7. Cattle & Crops – Agricultural strength and food security.
8. Fisherman – Economic and social contributions of riverine communities, amongst others.

The Law also empowers the Approving Authority, subject to oversight by the House of Assembly, to make additional regulations preventing the abuse, imitation, or misleading use of the Seal or the State’s name in commercial or promotional contexts.

Governor Fintiri emphasized that this development is part of his administration’s broader vision of entrenching dignity, discipline, and respect for institutions in Adamawa State.

“This Seal tells our story as a people—our courage, our intellect, our resources, and our unity. It belongs to every citizen of Adamawa, and must therefore be treated with the reverence it deserves,” the Governor stated.

JUST IN:

CSC INTERVIEW FOR ACCOUNT II POSITION KICKS OFF IN YOLA.

The Civil Service Commission (CSC) today commenced the interview phase of its ongoing recruitment exercise, starting with candidates who applied for the Account II position. The exercise drew applicants from across the 21 local government areas of Adamawa State.

During the interview session, candidates appeared before a high-powered committee chaired by the Chairman of the Commission, Barrister Musa Kaibo. He was joined by the Permanent Secretary of the Commission, Abubakar Umar Maiha, board chairmen, and consultants in the accounting field. The panel engaged the candidates on both professional capacity and moral standing, aimed at ensuring only competent and ethically sound individuals are recruited into the state civil service.

As part of the process, candidates were screened based on their qualifications and were required to present a brief overview of their educational background to the committee. This step was designed to verify credentials and confirm the authenticity of their claims.
Speaking on the importance of the exercise, the Commission noted that the interview stage is a crucial component of the recruitment process.

Beyond assessing academic qualifications, it provides an opportunity to evaluate candidates’ practical knowledge, integrity, and overall suitability for public service. This, according to the panel, is to guarantee that the civil service is staffed with individuals who can uphold professionalism, accountability, and transparency in delivering public service.

The interview exercise will continue simultaneously with other cadres of candidates and is scheduled to run until September 18th at the CSC headquarters in Yola.

FINTIRI HONOURS SUPER FALCONS COACH JUSTINE MADUGU WITH HOUSE, N50 MILLION FOR WAFCON VICTORY

Governor Ahmadu Umaru Fintiri of Adamawa State has honored Coach Justine Madugu of the Super Falcons with a three-bedroom bungalow and a cash reward of fifty million naira following his role in leading the Nigerian women’s national football team to victory at the 2025 Women’s Africa Cup of Nations (WAFCON) held recently in Morocco.

Coach Madugu, who hails from Numan Local Government Area of Adamawa State, received a hero’s welcome on Friday at the Government House in Yola, where Governor Fintiri applauded his patriotism, technical brilliance, and commitment to national glory.

The Governor expressed delight in the Super Falcons’ outstanding performance, which saw Nigeria clinch the WAFCON title for a record 10th time.

He noted that Madugu’s appointment as coach had always inspired confidence, citing his deep tactical intelligence and leadership qualities as key to the team’s success.

“It is a proud moment for us in Adamawa that one of our own has led Nigeria to victory on the continental stage,” Fintiri said. “From the moment he was appointed, I never doubted his capacity. His technical intelligence and focus have brought honor not just to Nigeria but to Adamawa State as well.”

While presenting the gift of a three-bedroom flat and the N50 million cash reward, Governor Fintiri reaffirmed his administration’s commitment to developing sports infrastructure and nurturing talent across the state.

He revealed that modern stadiums have been built in several local government areas, alongside an ultra-modern international stadium currently under construction.

“We will continue to invest in sports. I urge you, Coach Madugu, to return home and help nurture more young talents. Your achievements are an inspiration, and we want you to be part of the sporting renaissance in Adamawa State,” he added.

An emotional Coach Justine Madugu expressed his profound gratitude to the Governor and people of Adamawa for the warm reception and recognition of his contributions to national sports development. He described the honor as one of the proudest moments of his career.

“I’m overwhelmed by what is happening today. I thank God and the government of Adamawa State for this recognition,” Madugu said. “When I took up this role, I saw it as a challenge to prove that northerners, too, can lead at the highest levels. It was a personal mission to leave a legacy that will inspire respect for our state.”

He noted that Adamawa has significantly contributed to national sports, with over 20 athletes representing Nigeria across male and female national teams.

Madugu also praised Governor Fintiri for revitalizing sports in the state through various competitions, infrastructure development, and youth engagement initiatives.

The coach, however, appealed for more targeted efforts to promote women’s participation in sports, pointing out that cultural and religious barriers often hinder female athletes from reaching their full potential.

Governor Ahmadu Umaru Fintiri has announced an upward review of the monthly allowance paid to National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) members serving in Adamawa State from N20,000 to N30,000.

The announcement was made on Friday during the swearing-in ceremony of the 2025 Batch B Stream I Orientation Course held at the NYSC Permanent Orientation Camp in Damare, Girei Local Government Area.

Clad in full NYSC regalia, Governor Fintiri reaffirmed his administration’s commitment to youth development and the welfare of corps members posted to the state.

He noted that the increment reflects the state government’s ongoing efforts to provide a conducive environment for service, including regular support with food items and other welfare interventions.

“As a government, we are committed to improving the welfare of corps members. This increment aligns with our promise to create a friendly and supportive atmosphere for you,” the Governor said.

Governor Umaru Fintiri also revealed that preparations have reached an advanced stage for constructing a brand new NYSC camp in the state.

He directed the State NYSC Coordinator to engage corps members with relevant professional backgrounds in architecture, civil engineering, and quantity surveying to participate in the supervision of the project.

Congratulating the newly sworn-in corps members on the successful completion of their academic journeys, the Governor welcomed them to Adamawa State and assured them of the government’s hospitality and support.

He described them as strategic partners in the implementation of key government policies, especially in the education sector. “As bona fide citizens of Adamawa during your service year, you are expected to uphold discipline, engage in community development, and cultivate healthy interactions,” Fintiri stated.

He emphasized the importance of the orientation course, noting that it prepares corps members physically and mentally for national service.

In his remarks, the Commissioner for Youths and Chairman of the NYSC Governing Board in the state, Barrister Wali Yakubu, urged corps members to take the orientation course seriously, obey camp rules, and embrace skill acquisition opportunities that would promote self-reliance beyond their service year.

The State NYSC Coordinator, Mrs. Osoro Caroline, acknowledged the positive response and discipline shown by the new corps members since their arrival at the camp.

She said the orientation course is designed to equip them with the tools needed to make meaningful contributions to national development.

She commended Governor Fintiri for the stipend increase, his plans for a befitting camp, and other welfare packages for corps members, describing him as a visionary leader and a beacon of youth empowerment in Nigeria.

Highlights of the event included the administration of the oath of allegiance by the Chief Judge of Adamawa State, Justice Hapsat Abdurrahman, and a presentation of the NYSC journal to the Governor.
