Adamawa State Governor, Ahmadu Umaru Fintiri, has attended the turbaning ceremony of eight distinguished personalities by the Emir of Mubi, Alhaji Abubakar Isa Ahmadu, where he urged the newly installed traditional title holders to promote peace, unity and community development.
The ceremony, held at the palace of the Emir in Mubi, attracted traditional rulers, government officials, political leaders and other prominent personalities.
Among those honoured was Dr Mahmood Ahmadu, who received the traditional title of Turakin Mubi, alongside Buba Shafani and six other distinguished personalities.
Congratulating the recipients, Fintiri urged them to regard their new titles as a call to greater responsibility and service to humanity.
He encouraged them to use their positions, influence and experience to strengthen peaceful coexistence, promote unity and contribute meaningfully to the development of the Mubi Emirate and Adamawa State.
The governor also acknowledged the important role of traditional institutions in preserving cultural values, resolving community disputes and supporting government efforts to maintain peace and security.
As part of activities marking his 59th birthday, Fintiri donated N20 million towards settling the medical bills of patients receiving treatment at Mubi General Hospital.
His friend, Dr Mahmood Ahmadu, also contributed N15 million, bringing the total donation to N35 million.
