Adamawa State Governor, Ahmadu Fintiri, has reaffirmed his administration’s commitment to completing and inaugurating people-oriented projects until the end of his tenure.

He stated that the investments are aimed at improving livelihoods and stimulating economic growth in the state.

Mr Fintiri made the pledge on Tuesday after inspecting the ongoing construction of the Jimeta Ultra Modern Shopping Complex and the rehabilitation of the state zoo in Jimeta.

He said the inspection was part of routine monitoring to ensure contractors complied with project specifications and delivered value for public funds.

The governor expressed satisfaction with the pace and quality of work, adding that both projects were on course for completion by the end of September.

According to him, the projects will soon open for public use, providing improved business and recreational opportunities for residents.

Mr Fintiri described the ultra-modern shopping complex as “one of the best in Northern Nigeria,” saying it would transform commercial activities by providing traders with a modern, safe and conducive environment to conduct business.

He added that the facility would create employment opportunities, attract investment and contribute to the state’s economic development.

In the remaining period of his administration, the governor said that with about 10 months left to the end of his tenure, he would continue to utilise the period to execute projects that directly impact the lives of the people.

He added, “We will continue to execute and inaugurate quality projects until the last day of this administration. Our goal is to leave behind a stable and efficient government with enduring infrastructure that will serve the people and provide a solid foundation for the next administration.”

The ongoing rehabilitation of the state zoo is also expected to boost leisure and tourism activities, offering families and visitors a modern recreational facility while supporting local businesses that depend on visitor traffic.

Residents and traders in Jimeta expressed optimism that the completion of the projects would improve commercial activities, create jobs and further enhance the state’s urban landscape.
