The Dyapa Bwatiye and Ebubedike Ndigbo I, Chief Maurice Vunobolki, has applauded Governor Ahmadu Umaru Fintiri of Adamawa State for clinching the 2025 Governor of the Year Award on Urban Infrastructure at the Nigeria Excellence Awards in Public Service (NEAPS).
The ceremony, held on Sunday, December 7, at the Presidential Villa, Abuja, featured accolades from President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, who lauded Governor Fintiri for what he described as “a new era of progressive and inclusive leadership.”
Governor Fintiri’s latest feat marks his third consecutive recognition by NEAPS, an initiative of The Best Strategic PR in collaboration with the Office of the Secretary to the Government of the Federation. The award spotlights remarkable achievements in infrastructure renewal, urban development, digital innovation, reforms in public administration, security coordination, transparency, and accountability.
Chief Vunobolki, who led a high-powered delegation of Adamawa stakeholders to the event, told reporters on the sidelines of the ceremony:
> “This honour comes as no surprise to anyone who has seen the transformation sweeping across Adamawa State. Governor Fintiri continues to demonstrate a visionary, people-centred approach to governance that inspires pride in every son and daughter of our state.
> “From modern roads and flyovers to revitalised urban centres, enhanced security architecture, and groundbreaking digital and financial reforms, His Excellency has positioned Adamawa as a shining model of what purposeful leadership can achieve.
“On behalf of our organisation and the good people of Adamawa, we say congratulations to our performing Governor. We stand firmly behind him, and we are confident that more wins, greater heights, and sustained excellence lie ahead under his stewardship.”
While presenting the award, President Bola Ahmed Tinubu—represented by the Secretary to the Government of the Federation, Senator George Akume—praised Governor Fintiri and other honourees for their “tangible contributions to national development,” highlighting Adamawa’s sweeping urban renewal as proof of focused leadership.
The latest trophy further enriches Governor Fintiri’s growing array of national and international accolades, strengthening his profile as one of Nigeria’s standout performers in public service.
As the Adamawa delegation departed Abuja in high spirits, Chief Vunobolki reaffirmed confidence in the administration, declaring: “The best is yet to come for Adamawa State under the Fresh Air administration.”
