This initiative aims to create a more inclusive and equitable governance structure, reflecting the governor’s dedication to empowering women and ensuring their active involvement in decision-making processes.

Under Fintiri’s leadership, this policy has resulted in a notable improvement in the representation of women in various government positions and public offices within Adamawa State. By prioritizing gender equality, his administration is fostering a more balanced and representative leadership, which is essential for addressing the diverse needs of the state’s population.
