The Pharmaceutical Society of Nigeria (PSN) has expressed profound admiration for the transformative leadership of the Governor of Adamawa State, His Excellency, Rt. Hon. Ahmadu Umaru Fintiri, citing a visible revolution in the state’s infrastructure and healthcare delivery.
   In a statement by PSN president, Pharm. Ayuba Tanko Ibrahim delivered upon the Governor’s arrival for the historic 2026 PSN Colloquium, Ibrahim described the Governor’s developmental strides as a resounding testament to the visionary leadership and purposeful governance that has become a defining hallmark of the Administration of His Excellency.
  
Expressing delight on the pace of development in the State, the quality of the inaugurated projects and several others by the Fintiri administration, the PSN leader noted: “I sincerely commend the Governor for his foresight in ensuring economic growth through infrastructural excellence.”
  He further noted that the scale of ongoing projects has effectively turned Yola into a city with a difference, a modern urban hub where strategic infrastructure seamlessly blends with a functional healthcare system.
  In his address, the PSN President further noted that with the standard of facilities and commitment seen in Adamawa, many people will now believe in the health system of Nigeria. He expressed his earnest wish that other governors across the federation would take this kind of “Fintiri step” by prioritizing healthcare as a vital pillar of state development.
   
The association specifically praised the Governor’s dedication to sanitizing the healthcare industry, noting that his investments in medical infrastructure and the pharmaceutical value chain align perfectly with the profession’s vision for a secured health sector.
  This sentiment was corroborated by the Lead Speaker and Past President of the PSN, Pharm. Olumide Akintayo, who remarked that any governor who prioritizes healthcare clearly holds the lives of the people in high cherish and understands the fundamental importance of a state whose citizens’ health is intact.
  He emphasised that the pharmaceutical industry is the bedrock of any functional health system, effectively solidifying Fintiri’s status as a pro-pharmaceutical leader who acts with precision and compassion.
  
Adding professional weight to the occasion, the Keynote Speaker and the Immediate Past President of the PSN, Prof. Cyril Odianose Usifoh, commended the strategic focus of the conference. He noted that the gathering of intellectual giants in Yola is a direct result of the enabling environment created by the current administration, praising the state’s readiness to host such a high-caliber scientific and professional discourse at the Government House Banquet Hall.
  The Senior Special Assistant to the Governor on Pharmaceutical Matters, Pharm. Nwaka Ohuama, explained that the ongoing health sector reforms are strategically aligned to achieve and position Adamawa as a sub-Saharan hub for medical tourism.
  “We are not just treating patients; we are building a global healthcare brand,” he stated.
  
He further noted that the visible progress across the state is the direct fulfillment of the promises made by Governor Fintiri to the people. True to his words, the Governor has demonstrated an unwavering commitment to excellence, which has made Yola a premier destination for this year’s professional gathering.
  In his remarks, Governor Fintiri assured the delegation that the state will work closely with the Society to deliver a hitch-free, world-class conference that reflects Adamawa’s reputation for hospitality and capacity.
