The Adamawa State Executive Council in Nigeria has approved a substantial ₦169.106 billion supplementary budget for the 2026 fiscal year. This budget, unveiled during the 16th State Executive Council meeting presided over by Governor Ahmadu Umaru Fintiri, is designed to fund a range of major projects across the state. These include improvements in roads, drainage systems, healthcare facilities, electricity, and education infrastructure.
Commissioner for Information and Strategy, Leader Leneke, explained that the supplementary appropriation was made possible by additional funds from the Federation, which became accessible in September. However, these funds could not be spent until incorporated into the state budget. The total 2026 budget for Adamawa State, including the supplementary budget, now stands at ₦752,437,409,399.
Major projects approved under the supplementary budget include a ₦6.307 billion investment in solar-powered streetlights along a 21-kilometre Superhighway and housing estate in Malkohi. The council also allocated ₦690.98 million for the rehabilitation of the Cottage Hospital in Lamurde, and ₦1.783 billion for procurement of modern medical equipment in the health sector.
Infrastructure projects such as a stormwater drain at Unguwan Magaji in Yola South and township roads and stormwater drains in Gula are also part of the approved initiatives. Notably, ₦3.684 billion has been earmarked for the Mubi Cattle Market, with additional funding for access and internal road networks at the new Building Materials Market in Numan Road axis.
The state government emphasized the importance of the projects in enhancing infrastructure, improving healthcare and education, expanding electricity access, and providing a better living environment for residents. Additionally, the government reiterated its call to residents, especially in flood-prone areas, to remain vigilant as the rainy season ends, advising relocation to safer locations if necessary to protect lives and property.
