In a significant move to improve healthcare, Adamawa State Governor Ahmadu Umaru Fintiri has announced plans to construct a specialist hospital dedicated to women and children in the state.
The Governor made the announcement on Friday during his ongoing tour of the state’s twenty-one local government areas, with the latest stop in Yola North.
Governor Fintiri emphasized that his administration will not accept preventable deaths of women and children in the 21st century due to an inadequate healthcare system. The planned specialist hospital is a direct response to this commitment.
He reassured residents that his administration remains dedicated to providing more infrastructural development, stating that his legacies, policies, and programmes are clearly visible across Adamawa State.
“We will continue to serve the people with dedication, fairness, and sincerity,” Governor Fintiri added.

While appreciating the government’s interventions in health, education, infrastructure, security, and empowerment programmes, they appealed for the Governor to extend his administration’s generosity to traders within the state so they too can feel the impact of good governance.
