Governor Ahmadu Umaru Fintiri of Adamawa State
This was contained in a statement signed by Humwashi Wonosikou, Press Secretary to the Governor, made available to New Nigerian.
“The end of the year and the beginning of a new one provides us all with an opportunity for reflection and introspection as well as to plan. But most importantly, it is a time to give thanks to the Almighty God for the gift and for His care and provision to all of us,” the governor said.
“We thank God for bringing us safely to the end of an eventful year. As we celebrate the end of an extraordinary year, and look forward with hope to personal, State and National progress in 2022.
” I urge you to be more committed to the Adamawa project and support our plans for the economic development of the State as we intend to do more in terms of infrastructural renewal, human capital development and welfare of our people”, Fintiri stated.
While thanking the people of the state for their support over the past two and half years, the Governor commended the citizenry for their patriotic partnership.
According to him, in the last two and half years, the Government has worked hard to hasten progress in the State by laying the foundations for the kind of economy required by young, educated and ambitious people.
“What a year it’s been, and we’re just getting started. Together, we are making Adamawa great again”, he affirmed.
Fintiri commended the resilience of the people during the year. He said “Looking back on the achievements and milestones made in the course of 2021, I know that there are those amongst us who have had a very difficult year, either economically or through personal tragedies such as the loss of loved ones or those battling illnesses and other troubling situations. To you, it is my hope and prayer that the New Year will usher in better days for you and for all of us”.
The Governor noted especially the commitment of healthcare givers as the world battles the Omicron virus and encouraged people to be vaccinated against the pandemic.
“We must accept that despite the progress there are still challenges that we must overcome. By uniting in accepting our challenges, we would form the basis not for division but rather a clarion call of how we must move ahead in order to turn challenges to opportunity and prosperity”. Fintiri stated.
