Sunday July 7 turned out to be a day of outpouring of goodwill messages from across Adamawa State and beyond after the state Governor, Ahmadu Umaru Fintiri, received the prestigious Infrastructure Development Award for the second time, solidifying his position as one of the best performing governors in Nigeria.
The award, presented by Vice President Kassim Shettima on behalf of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, recognizes Governor Fintiri’s outstanding achievements in infrastructure development, particularly in the critical sectors of roads, bridges, healthcare, education, and water supply.
The rationale for the award was explained in a press statement on Sunday by the governor’s Chief Press Secretary, Humwashi Wonosikou, who said President Tinubu commended the recipients for their well-deserved recognition, stating that democracy has come to stay in Nigeria, and with the caliber of recipients, there’s hope for the future.
Governor Fintiri received the award alongside other governors, reaffirming his commitment to continuing the infrastructure revolution in Adamawa State and setting a high standard for infrastructure development in Nigeria.
“This recognition further solidifies Governor Fintiri’s reputation as a champion of infrastructure development and a dedicated leader in the country,” Wonosikou stated, adding that Governor Fintiri was accompanied to Abuja for the Award by top government officials, royal fathers, friends and associates.
