Gov Fintiri Vows to Tackle Illegal Mining, Security Threats in Ganye Chiefdom
Governor Ahmadu Umaru Fintiri of Adamawa State has reaffirmed his administration’s commitment to curbing illegal mining activities and addressing security threats in Ganye Chiefdom and across the state.
He made this known while receiving a delegation of prominent sons and daughters of Ganye Chiefdom led by the Gangwari Ganye, Alhaji Umaru Adamu Sanda, during a thank-you visit at the Government House in Yola.
The Governor urged the people of Ganye to complement government efforts by being vigilant and monitoring suspicious movements of informants and criminal agents within their communities.
He also assured the community that the development train would reach Ganye, noting that much still needs to be done to close existing gaps. He called on the community to support government efforts, especially in facilitating the establishment of a military base, an initiative originally proposed by a native of the area.
He noted that the event enhanced unity and strengthened diplomatic relations, describing it as an international gathering that brought people together.
The royal father also acknowledged the Governor’s policy of creating new districts and appointing traditional rulers, pledging the continued support of traditional institutions for the government’s development agenda.
“We understand and appreciate the philosophy behind the creation of more districts and traditional rulers. We will support this initiative wholeheartedly,” the monarch said.
He further appealed for federal government intervention in establishing a security base in the area to prevent criminal activities, especially from illegal miners operating in the region.
