In a move to reduce government expenses amidst the economic impact of the fuel subsidy removal, Adamawa State Governor Ahmadu Umaru Fintiri has banned his political aides from traveling outside the state unless the costs are personally covered. This decision underscores the Governor’s commitment to protecting state resources and enhancing financial prudence.
Governor Fintiri’s Chief Press Secretary, Humawashi Wounosikou, emphasized that the ban applies to all political aides, who will now have to cover the costs of any out-of-state travel from their own pockets. This measure aims to ensure that state funds are managed efficiently and that travel is limited to only official duties.
The ban comes as a response to the economic challenges posed by the removal of the fuel subsidy, which has had a significant impact on the state’s finances. Governor Fintiri has prioritized responsible financial management to safeguard the state’s resources and maintain essential services for the people of Adamawa.
This decision is part of a broader effort by the Fintiri administration to streamline government spending and promote transparency in the use of public funds. The Governor has repeatedly stressed the importance of fiscal discipline and prudent management of state resources to drive development and improve the lives of Adamawa residents.
By implementing this travel ban on political aides, Governor Fintiri aims to lead by example and demonstrate his commitment to responsible governance. The move is expected to contribute to the overall efficiency and effectiveness of the state government’s operations
