FCT Minister, Nyesom Wike Presents 10 Vehicles To FCT Chiefs

The Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) Nyesom Wike presented 10 vehicles to third-class chiefs in the federal capital on Friday and promised improved welfare for traditional leaders.

NAN reports that the third-class chiefs were from Gomani, Yaba, Bwari, Pai, Garki, Jiwa, Wako, Rubochi, Gwagwalada, and Zuba chiefdoms.

Wike explained, while handing over the Nissan Semi SUV keys to the traditional rulers in Abuja, that the gesture was part of government’s efforts to ease the mobility of the traditional leaders.

“Part of that is mobility. I can’t see how traditional rulers will be boarding taxis or entering public transportation. That is unacceptable.

“President Bola Tinubu has directed that that should not be allowed to continue. He has asked that we do everything possible to make it convenient and easy for you to do your assignment,” Wike said.

He stressed that, in line with the renewed agenda of President Tinubu, every stakeholder has a role to play, including traditional rulers, particularly in the area of security.

“You know your communities better than anybody; you know the people within your communities, so you will be able to identify those who look like strangers.

“No agency will perform its function without the support of traditional rulers, and we believe that we must partner together to achieve the fight against insecurity.

“So, today, we are going to hand over 10 vehicles to you to please help in supporting the government to fight insecurity in your domain. Be sure that we are going to work together.

“If we don’t work together, we will not achieve results because everybody is important in the fight against insecurity,” Wike said.
