ATIKU: Adamawa Opposition Are Pessimistic On Fintiri Policies

The State Commissioner of Works, Alhaji Adamu Atiku Abubakar claimed that the opposition are pessimistic about all development stride of The Fintiri led Government.

Atiku, who was fielding questions about the controversial bond, said the N100 billion bond was specifically for agro business.

“You know, opposition always oppose and find some negative side to criticise.

“The facility is to be utilised over four years; that means every year,
the state government required N25 billion for the business,” he
explained.

He assured the Government will take maximum advantage
of the huge potentials in livestock sector, as livestock alone is
contributing almost 50% of the state total gross domestic product.

we have decided to have great portion from that market by investing
heavily and transforming the agricultural sector in the state.
