In a packed itinerary, the President subsequently inaugurated the Bekaji Underpass, the expanded Galadima Aminu Way, the ultra-modern High Court Complex, and the newly constructed Governor’s Office at the Government House, Yola.

Speaking at the events, President Tinubu expressed profound appreciation to the government and people of Adamawa State for the warm reception accorded him and his entourage. He commended Governor Fintiri for what he described as bold and visionary developmental strides, noting that the projects constitute enduring legacy investments capable of transforming the state’s socio-economic landscape.

“They are not just structures; they are investments in the future of the Adamawa child, the seamless connectivity of its communities, and the dignity of its institutions,” the President was quoted as saying.

In his remarks, Governor Fintiri provided details on the financial commitment to the projects. He disclosed that the construction of model secondary schools across the 21 local government areas cost over ₦24 billion, while the Bekaji Underpass and the expansion of Galadima Aminu Way were executed at a cost exceeding ₦15 billion, alongside other completed projects.
