Former SGF Chief Mustapha Secures New Appointment

Adamawa State Governor Ahmadu Umaru Fintiri has named former Secretary to the Government of the Federation, Boss Mustapha, as the state’s representative on the Board of Trustees of the Northern Nigeria Security Trust Fund.

The governor made the announcement through a statement issued by his Chief Press Secretary, Humwashi Wonosikou, on Tuesday.

He said the appointment is intended to strengthen Adamawa’s role in regional efforts to address the escalating security challenges facing Northern Nigeria.

According to the governor, the move reflects his administration’s commitment to improving security cooperation and ensuring that Adamawa State can effectively contribute to decisions aimed at protecting lives and property throughout the region.

Daily Post reports that the Northern Nigeria Security Trust Fund was created by the Northern Governors’ Forum as a strategic initiative to support security agencies with intelligence sharing, operational logistics, inter‑state collaboration, and community‑based security interventions across the 19 northern states.

The governor described the former SGF as a seasoned public servant whose extensive experience and leadership credentials make him well‑suited for the role.

He expressed concern over the persistent security threats confronting the country, especially in the northern region, including banditry, terrorism, kidnapping, and communal conflicts.
