The Adamawa State House of Assembly has granted permission to the state Governor, Ahmadu Fintiri, to appoint 40 Special Advisers.
The permission followed a request by the governor, through a letter read by the Speaker, Aminu Iya-Abbas, at plenary on Tuesday.
The story of the 40 Special Adviser is the first major sign that Governor Fintiri is set to enlarge his cabinet.
It has been a thin one without commissioners and advisers, except Commissioner of Justice and Attorney General.
The House of Assembly, at the same Tuesday sitting, passed a resolution calling on the governor to suspend the caretaker chairman of Numan LGC, Mr Nathaniel Tyakul, following a petition against him to the House, signed by 10 councillors.
