Governor Ahmadu Umaru Fintiri’s administration remains committed to overhauling and modernizing the Adamawa State Civil Service to enhance efficiency, transparency, and productivity. As part of these efforts, the Adamawa State Civil Service Commission has successfully transferred 827 civil servants across various sectors and tiers.
These transfers include movements from local government to state government service, as well as from federal government establishments to state institutions.
A key highlight of this restructuring is the transfer of doctors and other medical professionals from the federal government to the Adamawa State Civil Service. This transition has been largely influenced by the Fintiri administration’s decision to align the salaries and allowances of state-employed medical personnel with those of their counterparts in federal teaching hospitals and medical centers.
Additionally, the government has significantly upgraded healthcare infrastructure by equipping the Specialist Hospital Yola and other medical institutions across the state with cutting-edge facilities, ensuring that healthcare professionals have the tools they need to provide high-quality medical services. These initiatives attracted personnel especially medics to Adamawa civil services.
Beyond personnel restructuring, the Adamawa State Civil Service Commission is laying the foundation for a large-scale recruitment drive, set to commence in March 2025. This initiative aims to inject fresh talent into the civil service, address workforce gaps, and improve public service delivery across various sectors.
Furthermore, Governor Fintiri’s administration is among the first in Nigeria to implement the 70,000 Naira minimum wage, reinforcing its commitment to workers’ welfare. The government remains steadfast in ensuring timely payment of salaries, pensions, and gratuities while fostering a conducive work environment equipped with the necessary tools and resources to enhance productivity.
Governor Fintiri’s vision for a modernized and efficient civil service is not just about improving working conditions but also about creating a legacy of professionalism, accountability, and service delivery that will benefit the people of Adamawa State for years to come.
