Analyst lauds Wike’s security interventions in FCT
By Philip Yatai
Akinloye Oyeniyi, an Abuja-based public affairs analyst, has commended the Minister for Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Mr Nyesom Wike, for boosting security in the nation’s capital.
Oyeniyi, who is also a legislative consultant, gave the commendation in a statement in Abuja on Tuesday, as a reaction to the ongoing clearance of shanties and criminal hideouts in the federal capital
The commendation comes amidst the minister’s response to growing concerns about safety and security in Abuja, especially with the increasing need for secure environments for residents, businesses, and visitors.
According to the analyst, the minister was not only rejigging the infrastructural aspect of Abuja and its environs, but has now moved to securing lives and properties.
“The move by Wike is a welcome development in the quest for improved security in the capital.
“Operations by the FCTA involved the latest removal of illicit structures, impounding vehicles, and seizing weapons in a bid to curb criminal activities and enhance safety in the nation’s capital.
“Honestly, this recent commitment to improving the FCT security is what everyone should commend the Minister and his team for.
“Yes, it is their job, but there is what is called commendation if an official has performed his duty well.”
He argued that such efforts had not been heard in the FCT in a long while, “thus, the reason every reasonable person should commend the Wike-led FCT Administration’s actions to improve public safety”.
Oyeniyi called for the sustainability of such efforts to ensure that the federal capital remained safe and secure for residents’ well-being and sustainable development. (NAN)
