A governorship aspirant on the platform of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Abdulrahman Bashir Haske, is set to unveil a development blueprint titled “The A.D.A.M.A.W.A First Agenda” ahead of his formal declaration for the 2027 Adamawa State governorship election.
The agenda will be officially presented on Saturday, April 25, 2026, at the Mahmud Ribadu Square, Jimeta-Yola, and is expected to outline Haske’s vision for governance, economic growth, and social development in the state.
According to a statement issued on Friday by his publicity secretary, Abdulgaffar Ahmed, the A.D.A.M.A.W.A First Agenda is designed to consolidate on the socio-economic foundations laid by the administration of Governor Ahmadu Umaru Fintiri while introducing a citizen-focused approach aimed at inclusive growth and sustainable development.
The statement said the agenda is anchored on seven key pillars: Agriculture and Agro-Industry; Development and Infrastructure; Access to Social Development; Meaningful Youth Inclusion; Accountable and Inclusive Governance; Wealth Creation and Economic Empowerment; and Assurance of Security.
Under agriculture, Haske plans to reposition the sector as a major driver of wealth creation through mechanisation, value chain development, agro-processing, and market expansion, with the aim of transforming Adamawa into a leading agro-industrial hub.
The infrastructure component focuses on investments in road networks, water supply, energy access, digital connectivity, and environmental protection to improve service delivery and connect communities to economic opportunities.
On social development, the agenda prioritises access to quality education and affordable healthcare, with emphasis on ensuring that no community is excluded from essential services because of distance or cost.
Youth inclusion also forms a major part of the blueprint, with policies aimed at supporting entrepreneurship, innovation, job creation, and skills development.
The governance pillar, according to the statement, emphasises transparency, accountability, and equitable resource distribution, while the wealth creation framework focuses on attracting investment, creating jobs, and empowering citizens with skills and access to finance across the state’s 21 local government areas.
Security was also described as fundamental to development, with Haske prioritising safe farming, trading, and peaceful community life.
He said the agenda represents a commitment to people-centred governance and inclusive development, stressing that Adamawa’s greatest asset lies in the strength and resilience of its people, particularly the youth.
The statement also noted that Haske had previously implemented community-based interventions through the Haske Foundation, supporting education initiatives, youth and women entrepreneurship, and assistance to vulnerable groups across the state.
It added that the unveiling of the A.D.A.M.A.W.A First Agenda marks the beginning of Haske’s engagement with stakeholders as the 2027 governorship race gradually gathers momentum in Adamawa State.
