The Ona of Abaji, Dr Adamu Yunusa, has hailed President Bola Tinubu and the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Mr Nyesom Wike, over the ongoing infrastructural transformation of the FCT.
Yunusa, who is also the Chairman of the FCT Council of Chiefs, gave the commendation when members of the FCT Renewed Hope Ambassadors, led by the Coordinator, Adamu Abdullahi visited him in his palace on Thursday.
The traditional ruler described Wike as a true ambassador of Tinubu’s “Renewed Hope Agenda”.
He specifically praised the minister for the ongoing infrastructural development in the FCT, particularly satellite towns and called for more interventions in the education sector to liberate the people.
The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that the ambassadors also visited Gwargwada, Rubochi, Yaba, Wako, Pai, and Zuba chiefdoms.
The Chief of Pai, in Kwali Area Council, Alhaji Abubakar Pai, commended Tinubu administration for the extensive road network in rural communities, stressing that it made transportation of farm produce to the city centre easier.
Also, the Agora of Zuba, Muhammad Umar, expressed confidence in the ambassadors’ ability to serve the FCT and pledged continued support for the progress and unity of the territory.
Earlier, Abdullahi explained that the visit was aimed at familiarising the ambassadors with traditional rulers in the FCT, and to seek their blessings and guidance.
He added that the visit was also to strengthen relationships and seek their support for the success of the Tinubu-led administration.
He assured the traditional rulers that their pleas would be documented and presented to Tinubu, whom he described as a listening president. (NAN)
