The FCT Youth Stakeholders Forum has commended the Honourable Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Barr. Nyesom Ezenwo Wike, for what it described as unprecedented infrastructural development and inclusive governance since his assumption of office.
In a statement signed by its convener, Comrade Zakari Gambo Babale, the forum lauded the Minister’s “dynamic leadership and people-oriented vision” which, it said, has brought visible transformation across the territory.
According to the group, never since the nation’s capital was relocated to Abuja has the city witnessed the scale of infrastructural growth now being delivered. Projects cited include expansive road networks, school rehabilitation, youth centres, water projects, street lighting, and the ongoing renovation of the Bola Ahmed Tinubu International Conference Centre.
The forum also praised Wike’s reforms in the FCT civil service, noting the elevation of staff to the ranks of Permanent Secretaries and the historic appointment of the late Mrs. Grace Adayilo as the first female Head of Service. Her state burial, it added, reflected the Minister’s compassionate leadership and respect for service.
Equally highlighted were the appointments of Comrade Suleiman Abdullahi Ango and Hon. Lawrence Bitrus Garki into the FCT Executive Council, which the forum described as “a bold step towards inclusive development and grassroots participation.”
“Mr. President’s Renewed Hope Agenda is being actualized in the FCT through the Minister’s visionary leadership,” the statement read. The group pledged continued support and collaboration with the FCT Administration, while also reaffirming its readiness to mobilize towards President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s re-election in 2027.
