Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Nyesom Wike has pledged to take more steps to protect people and property in the capital of the country.
In a message to Abuja citizens on Tuesday, October 1, in honor of the 2024 Independence Day celebration, Wike provided the promise.
This year’s Independence Day, Wike noted, arrives at a time when Nigerians are faced with tremendous challenges—economic, security, and societal.
Nonetheless, he stated that citizens of the nation’s capital city must be resilient and take the initiative to create the Nigeria of our dreams.
The minister asked everyone to consider the national day’s spirit and accept individual and group accountability for community development. He also said that residents should band together to support security measures, advance peace, safeguard the environment, and uphold the duty of being one’s brother’s keeper.
According to the statement he signed, the minister said: “It is my honor and great privilege, on behalf of the FCT Administration, to congratulate all residents of the Federal Capital Territory on this occasion of the 64th Independence Anniversary of our great Nation, Nigeria.
“We felicitate with His Excellency, President Bola Ahmed Tinubu GCFR as he courageously takes the bold and necessary measures essential for the growth and development of Nigeria as a strong, virile, and indivisible nation.
“Let us also spare a thought for our founding fathers whose vision, determination, and sacrifices laid the foundation for the Nigeria we call home. Their commitment to a united, strong, and prosperous Nigeria continues to guide our journey, and we must honor their legacy by embracing the values of unity, peace, and collective progress.”
