FCTA renovated, furnished 60 schools: Wike

The Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Nyesom Wike, says the FCT Administration has renovated and furnished more than 60 public schools across the territory.
Mr Wike stated this after inspecting some ongoing projects in Gwagwalada and Kwali Area Councils of the territory on Friday.
“We have done a lot of work in schools. The schools we have renovated and furnished are more than 60 so far,” Mr Wike said.
He explained that beyond road projects, the FCT Administration had invested hugely in improving critical infrastructure in the health and education sectors.
According to him, every sector will receive the needed attention, and no one will be left behind.
“I can tell you that no sector would be left abandoned, every sector will be focused on,” he stated.
The minister, however, pointed out that “a good road network is what brings development.”
Mr Wike said the farming communities along the A2 to Pai road would be happy that they now have a road network to take their farm produce to the city and markets to sell.
He added that good road networks also have a positive impact on reducing insecurity.
Mr Wike explained that when people commit offences and there “is no road to chase them, it would become a problem.
“But when you see this kind of road with streetlights, you will have to think twice before you commit any offence.”
