Let’s Stand Together Against Insecurity- Wike
By: Wisdom Acka
The Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, Nyesom Wike, has called on the residents of the Territory to form a common front against insecurity.
The Minister made this call in a statement he personally signed to mark the 64th anniversary of Nigeria independence, in Abuja, Tuesday.
He enjoined every resident to reflect on the spirit of our national day and take personal and collective responsibility for the development of our communities.
His words: “Let us stand together to support security efforts, promote peace, protect our environment and be our brother’s keeper.”
Wike said that Abuja as the capital city and the heart of the nation, “we must demonstrate resilience and lead the charge in building the Nigeria of our dreams.”
According to him, “this year’s Independence Day comes at a time when we, as a nation, are faced with significant challenges -economic, security, and social.”
The Minister noted that President Bola Tinubu has taken bold and necessary steps for Nigeria’s growth and development.
The statement reads in part: “We felicitate with President Bola Ahmed Tinubu as he courageously takes the bold and necessary measures essential for the growth and development of Nigeria as a strong, virile and indivisible nation”.
The Minister, therefore, congratulated the President and FCT residents on Nigeria’s 64th independence anniversary.
“It is my honour 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”, Wike stated.
He appealed: “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 honour their legacy by embracing the values of unity, peace, and collective progress.”
The Minister continued: “In line with the Renewed Hope Agenda, we must commit to fostering national unity and progress. The FCT is at the forefront of these efforts, and we will continue to ensure that Abuja remains a symbol of hope, a center for opportunities, and a place of peace for all Nigerians.
