Yola—The Administrator of Toungo West Development Area,  Mr. James Micheal has been relieved of his appointment by the Adamawa State acting Governor Ahmadu Umaru Fintiri along with the secretaries of Toungo West and Toungo South Development Areas, Mohammed Hassan and Hamidu Marafa respectively.

This was contained in a statement signed by the Secretary to the State Government, SSG, Professor Abdullahi Liman Tukur yesterday.

Reasons for the action was not made public but sources said that the action might not be unconnected with the unruly behaviour of some youths who attacked the entourage of the acting Governor when he went there on campaign tour of the affected areas.

Meanwhile, the five former officers had been directed to hand over all government properties in their possession to the highest ranking officer in their respective development areas.

This was even as Fintiri has approved the reconstitution of the Christian Pilgrims’ Welfare Board with Rev. Edward Ishaya as chairman.
Other members of the board include Reverends Stephen Bada and Daniel Tumba, Dr. Zinas Bako, Mrs. Rejoice Agontara, Mr. Seth P. Dan Pullo, Mr, Polycarp Kaigama and Mr. Daniel Babale.
