Tinubu approved creation of youth affairs secretariat in FCT: Wike
FCT minister Nyesom Wike said on Monday that President Bola Tinubu had approved the establishment of a mandate secretariat for youth affairs in the FCT.
Mr Wike disclosed this during an interactive engagement with residents of the Bwari area council on Monday.
During the interactive section, he explained his peace-building process across the FCT in view of the planned nationwide protest slated for August 1 to 10.
A similar interactive section was held with residents of Gwagwalada, Kuje, Kwali, Abuja Municipal Area Council (AMAC) and Abaji to urge the people, particularly the youths, not to participate in the #EndBadGovernance protest.
“On Saturday, I told the people of AMAC, when they requested the establishment of the youth secretariat, that I knew that when I met Mr President, he would approve it,” said Mr Wike. “Yesterday, while in Kwali, I repeated what I said. I want to bring you good news. I saw the president last night, and he has approved the establishment of a secretariat for youth affairs.”
“The FCT has a generation of residents who were born and schooled in the FCT. These residents know no other place that they call home than the territory. As such, there must be peaceful coexistence of all Nigerians in the nation’s capital,” Mr Wike said.
