“It is good for me to inform you that he has changed the educational system of Adamawa state to an advanced level.
“In one of the state university we inherited, that university had only three professors. Today we have over 50 professors in that university.
“Today, National University Commission has approved a Master Degree in the university to train doctors and lawyers. This is an achievement within a short period of time.
“The university could not have a convocation for 13 years. But with the coming of Governor Fintri, they had one and he has met up with his own counterpart funding for 2016, 2017, 2018, 2019 and 2020.

“In the area of security, he has been able to ensure that people in the state sleep with their eyes closed.”
“Governor Fintri has done marvelously well in Adamawa state. He has constructed 347 kilometres of rural roads across the 21 local government areas in Adamawa state.
“With this, you will see that the trade unions are here with us, the business community, are here with us, they are here because they are serious and they have seen that the governor is doing a very good work in Adamawa state.
