The Confederation of All Progressives Congress (APC) has commended FCT minister Nyesom Wike’s security initiatives to ensure a safe territory.
Its director-general, Kailani Muhammed, gave the commendation at a news conference in Abuja.
Mr Muhammed said, “I am using this opportunity to commend the strong partnership between the FCT Minister and the FCT Commissioner of Police, Benneth Igwe, for their efforts against insurgents and other crimes in the Capital City.
“We encourage them not to relent, but maintain and even improve on the template. We advise other state governments to emulate the FCT Minister’s leadership quality and result-oriented mechanism.”
In less than a year in office, the politician said Mr Wike had transformed the FCT into a haven with many ongoing road projects and some security initiatives.
He said some achievements included rehabilitating 135 roads completed at almost 90 per cent.
“The minister has exempted the territory from the Treasury Single Account (TSA). This will allow for efficient use of Internally Generated Revenue (IGR) and stimulate the growth and development of the FCT.
“The establishment of the FCT Civil Service Commission, as directed by President Tinubu within the short period, is also a laudable achievement,” he said.
Mr Muhammed commended the FCT minister for executing streetlight projects to light up every part of Abuja.
He said that the FCT Women Affairs Secretariat, under Mr Wike’s leadership, disbursed N10 million grants to 20 women farmers in the territory.
He said the grant was under the first lady, Oluremi Tinubu’s Renewed Hope Initiative’s (RHI) Women Agricultural Empowerment programme.
He added that the Federal Capital Territory Administration (FCTA) had also inducted desk officers to improve service delivery across FCT public primary and secondary schools.
He also mentioned that the move was part of ongoing efforts to deliver quality services to residents of Abuja.
“The FCT minister is planning to provide specialised care and support for children in vulnerable situations, particularly those with disabilities. The overall goal of the initiative is to revamp interventions related to child protection and combating violence against children.
“This includes efforts to align local laws with international standards, particularly those outlined in the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs),” the APC group leader said.
