Governor Ahmadu Umaru Fintiri's administration has made youth empowerment and human capital development a major component of governance in Adamawa State, combining policy reforms, skills acquisition, entrepreneurship support, agriculture, education, digital innovation and targeted social interventions. The administration introduced the Adamawa State Youth Policy 2025, providing a comprehensive framework for youth development and defining youth within the 15-40 age bracket. The policy focuses on education, employment, entrepreneurship, health, civic participation and 21st-century skills, with particular attention to rural youth, persons with disabilities, out-of-school youth and communities affected by insurgency. It also provides for a youth database and portal to improve access to opportunities, coordination and monitoring of youth programmes, while financial empowerment and entrepreneurship support is delivered through the Poverty Alleviation and Wealth Creation Agency.
