Fintiri queries impact of resources allocated to Lake Chad crisis

Adamawa State Governor, Ahmadu Umaru Fintiri, has raised critical concerns about the effectiveness of efforts to address the humanitarian and security crisis in the Lake Chad Basin despite substantial allocation of resources allocated to the region.

“Can we truly say we have done enough to guarantee the RSSRR we all committed to in the region? Can we match the size of the resources placed at the disposal of governments and international and local partners with the level of progress made in responding to the crisis in the Basin?” Fintiri asked.

Speaking at a high-level meeting on the region’s future, the governor emphasized that the answers to these questions will determine how close stakeholders are to achieving the theme of the gathering: “Rebuilding the Lake Chad Basin: Consolidating Gains Committee to Peace, Cross-border Cooperation Security, and Sustainable Development for a Resilient Community.”

He called for a more results-driven approach, stressing the need for transparency, accountability, and renewed commitment to ensuring that interventions translate into tangible improvements for the people of the region.
