Governor Ahmadu Umaru Fintiri has signed a landmark bill that will lead to the creation of new emirates and chiefdoms in Adamawa State.

The bill, signed on Monday, December 16, 2024, officially recognises Lamido Adamawa as the Chairman of the State Council of Emirs and Chiefs.

This is a significant development for the state, as it marks the first time such a recognition has been granted since the state’s creation.

While specific details about the new emirates and chiefdoms have not yet been released, the move is expected to strengthen traditional governance and promote inclusivity across the state.
