He highlighted the collaborative approach adopted by the FCT administration and area council chairmen in addressing these multifaceted issues, emphasizing the universality of their impact irrespective of political affiliations.
“The fight against poverty and insecurity transcends political boundaries,” remarked Wike. “We must unite in our efforts to combat these challenges, leveraging collective resources and expertise for the betterment of all residents within the FCT.”
In closing, Wike reaffirmed the administration’s unwavering commitment to fostering inclusive growth and security, echoing the sentiment that concerted efforts, bolstered by political will and public support, are instrumental in effecting meaningful change within the region.
