Governor Ahmadu Umaru Fintiri of Adamawa State has reaffirmed his administration’s commitment to rebuilding lives and restoring hope in insurgency-affected areas, as 2,500 households in Madagali Local Government Area received empowerment support in partnership with the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP).

Speaking during the exercise, Governor Fintiri described the programme as “real action” that directly impacts lives and strengthens community resilience. “Today, we empowered 2,500 households in Madagali with cash grants, vocational kits, and fish farming inputs in partnership with UNDP. This is real action, lifting over 10,000 people out of poverty and rebuilding lives across insurgency-affected communities,” the governor said.
The governor commended UNDP for its steadfast partnership and reaffirmed that the Adamawa State Government will continue to prioritize empowerment initiatives that address the root causes of poverty and displacement, particularly in areas recovering from insurgency.
