Gov. Ahmadu Fintiri of Adamawa on Thursday swore in 23 Commissioners and charged them to be dedicated to duty for the development of the state.
Fintiri charged the commissioners to be committed and fair in the discharge of their duties.
“You must eschew corruption and corrupt tendencies.
“I must caution early on that the call that you just answered is a call to service, it is not a call to riches.

Fintiri said that his first term had laid the foundation for the development of the State.
According to him, the second term is a consolidation phase aimed at building on the foundations already laid.
“I urge all of you to come on board with the desirable winning attitude, ingenuity and deep insight in handling every situation,” the governor urged.
