Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, FCT, Nyesom Wike, has declared that Abuja, the capital city is safe and secured.
According to Wike, the capital city is now more secure than it was under previous administrations.
Speaking on Saturday while examining current construction on the Wuye District Infrastructure and the Federal Highway 105 from the Umar Musa Yar’Adua Motorway to Kuje township, the Minister stated that the safety of Abuja was not defined by individual security incidents.
He said: “If there is one safe city in this country, I think Abuja is that city.
“The problem we have here is that when one incident happens, we forget that three months ago, nothing happened.
“You should give us and the security agencies credit that we are doing quite a lot to make Abuja safe, and it has been safe.

“We do agree that something may happen but that does not mean that Abuja is not safe. I don’t want us to take that to mean that the city is not safe. If there is one safe city in this country, I think Abuja is that city.”
Additionally, the Minister promised that Abuja would be sanitary and that the FCT Administration would actively remove trash that was deposited carelessly.
According to Wike, FCTA has begun clearing the trash dump in the Nyanya/Karshi area and along Airport Road.
He disclosed intentions to issue new contracts for the disposal of waste within two weeks, pledging to choose only qualified contractors who can maintain the city’s cleanliness.
“We believe that in the next two weeks, the contract will be formally awarded for refuse disposal. That, I can tell you, will help us quite a lot,” he said.
