Governor Ahmadu Fintiri of Adamawa State has inaugurated 13 recently appointed permanent secretaries.
The governor, at a ceremony on Wednesday at the Government House, Yola, also inaugurated a sole administrator for Gere Bakari Development Area of the state.

The governor, represented by his deputy, Professor Kaletapwa Farauta, urged the new permanent secretaries to pursue the interest of the state, whichever Ministry they are posted to.

The new permanent secretaries include Mundi Musa Ibrahim, Adama Maman, Dogara Musa, Fibian Wambai, Abubakar Umar Maiha, Oliver Gani, and Zira Bubanani.
The rest are Kwaji Duguri, Ruth Hurum, Makalan Akila, Tanimu Buba, Heidi Edgar Amos and Mohammad Amin Suleiman
