Adamawa State Governor Ahmadu Fintiri, has assented into law a Bill creating a new Seal for the state.
The bill is to be cited as “A Bill For A Law To Create The Seal Of Adamawa And Regulate Its Use 2025.”
He said the landmark legislation provides for the creation, regulation, and protection of the Seal of Adamawa State. The new law marks a historic step in preserving the State’s identity, authority, and cultural heritage.
That the Seal, now formally recognized as the official emblem of the Government of Adamawa State, will serve as a unifying symbol of the State’s authority, heritage, and aspirations.
Fintiri stated that, “This law reinforces our commitment to good governance, order, and respect for our cultural values. It is not just a Seal, but a statement of identity, dignity, and responsibility for all who serve under it. The Seal is reserved strictly for official government purposes and may be authorized for commemorative, historical, or educational uses by the designated authority.”
He said, in the event of any misuse, individuals shall pay a fine of N250,000 or serve two years’ imprisonment, or both, while corporate bodies are to pay N1,000,000, in addition to potential further legal action.
