Adamawa State Creates New Emirates and Chiefdoms, Reduces Lamido’s Domain

Governor Ahmadu Fintiri of Adamawa State has announced the creation of additional emirates and chiefdoms in the state, bringing the total to 14 graded traditional institutions.

The move aims to reposition the traditional institution to better promote peace, security, and development across the state.

The announcement was made in a broadcast on Monday following the state House of Assembly’s passage of the “Adamawa State Chiefs (Appointment and Deposition) and Matters Incidental Thereto” bill on December 10. Governor Fintiri signed the bill into law on December 16, paving the way for the reorganization.

The creation of new emirates and chiefdoms has reduced the domain of the Lamido of Adamawa, Mustapha Barkindo, from eight to four local government areas: Yola South, Yola North, Girei, and Hong. Similarly, the domain of the Emir of Mubi, Abubakar Isa-Ahmadu, has been reduced from five to two local government areas: Mubi North and Mubi South.

Both Adamawa and Mubi emirates, predominantly Fulani-dominated, will now share the traditional leadership structure with other ethnic groups, following the creation of new chiefdoms and emirates.

New Chiefdoms and Emirates

  1. Huba Chiefdom – Headquarters in Hong, led by a second-class chief.
  2. Madagali Chiefdom – Headquarters in Gulakand, led by a second-class chief.
  3. Michika Chiefdom – Headquarters in Michika, led by a second-class chief.
  4. Fufore Emirate – Headquarters in Fufore, led by a second-class chief.
  5. Gombi Chiefdom – Headquarters in Gombi, led by a third-class chief.
  6. Yungur Chiefdom – Headquarters in Dumne, led by a third-class chief.
  7. Maiha Emirate – Headquarters in Maiha, led by a third-class chief.

Fintiri said the move is also expected to provide more centres for dispute resolution, improve governance in ungoverned spaces, and strengthen social cohesion.

The governor said the creation of the new chiefdoms and emirates has been gazetted and is now part of the state’s statutory repository.
