The Adamawa State Government on Friday
announced that it has earmarked N200 million to
engage prayer warriors in seeking divine intervention
towards ending the state’s lingering security
challenges.
Chief of Staff of the state, Alhaji Abdurahman Jimeta,
disclosed this in a media chat aired on the Adamawa
State Television, which was monitored by the News
Agency of Nigeria in Yola.
Jimeta explained that the money was sourced from
the state and local governments joint account.
“We have earmarked N200 million for prayers to seek
for Allah’s intervention in tackling the Boko Haram
menace and other insecurity challenges threatening
the stability of the state,” Jimeta said.
He said part of that money, which would be spent as
security votes, would go into assisting local vigilance
teams and security operatives.
On agriculture, he explained that the state
government had ordered fertilisers worth over
N3billion for the 2015 farming season.
He called for massive support toward the success of
government efforts for a peaceful and stable
Adamawa, adding that not much could be achieved in
an atmosphere of chaos.
