Governor Ahmadu Umaru Fintiri has once again distinguished Adamawa State by ensuring the timely payment of February salaries to local government workers, despite the ongoing delay in the federal government’s Federation Account Allocation Committee (FAAC) disbursement.
As of March 16th, 2024, many states nationwide are still awaiting their February FAAC allocations.
This proactive move highlights Adamawa State’s growing financial autonomy, attributed to a surge in internally generated revenue (IGR) under Governor Fintiri’s administration.
“Governor Fintiri’s commitment to the welfare of our local government workers is unwavering,” stated Sharif Alhasan Sarkinpawa. “Even when faced with delays at the federal level, he prioritises the timely payment of salaries, demonstrating exceptional financial leadership.”
The governor’s ability to pay salaries ahead of the FAAC distribution shows a significant move towards self-sufficiency.
Adamawa State is gradually reducing its reliance on federal allocations, showcasing a model of financial independence for other states to emulate.
The state’s increased IGR has enabled it to meet its salary obligations promptly, providing a sense of security and stability for its workforce.
“While other states grapple with financial uncertainties, Adamawa continues to forge ahead,” Sarkinpawa emphasised.
“This is a testament to Governor Fintiri’s strategic governance and his dedication to driving economic independence.”
