His Excellency, Ahmadu Umaru Fintiri the current Governor of Adamawa State who was a honorable member of the Adamawa State House of Assembly, and was later appointed the Speaker of the House, certainly knows how to put smiles on the faces of the people living in the state through various youth and infrastructural development oriented projects. This has been exemplified with some ongoing activities' in the state by the state Commissioner of Works and Energy Development.
Hon Adamu Atiku Abubakar, the
Commissioner of Works and Energy Development in Adamawa State, Northeastern Nigeria,
organized a noteworthy crossover watchnight party to further foster unity and
love among the youths and residents of the state, in the capital city of Yola
on 31 December 2024, which ushered the folks into the new year (2025).
The very social Commissioner served
as the Chairman of the Planning Committee for the Crossover Night and
Fireworks. The event was held at Adamawa Unity Bridge in Yola. It
witnessed a mammoth crowd of enthusiastic youths. They were entertained with
music and live performance by a popular Yola – based artiste, Latido who
thrilled the audience with enthralling songs coupled with electrifying dance.
For the benefit of those who have
not travelled to Yola before, or those who have been absent from Yola over a
decade, the city is a very peaceful and conducive place to live and do various
legal things, such as business and educational activities. It has become the
fastest developing city in the northeastern region over the past four years
till date. Even though some folks in the other parts of Nigeria still harbor
the fear of insecurity reported about the Northeast many years ago, activities
in Adamawa State has shown that the state has become the hub of peace,
business and educational development in recent times. The folks are communally
friendly and cooperative among themselves and visitors.
The city's road networks are well planned to make movement easy and fast. There are various flyover bridges in the city, including an underground channel where vehicles easily pass through to avoid traffic jams, although there is scarcely traffic jams. The accompanying videos are evidence of how Yola is at present a place where everyone can move freely and engage in legal activities without fear of molestation or threat from anybody. The residents are hopeful that the new year will bring greater positive things to their lifestyles in view of the ongoing development works in the state by the current administration.
