The President Bola Tinubu has approved the creation of Secretariat to cater for youths in the Federal Capital Territory.
This is coming few months after granting approval for the establishment of a Women Affairs Secretariat in the Federal Capital Territory Administration FCTA.
The decision followed a presentation made to him by the FCT Minister, Ezenwo Nyesom Wike who had promised youths in the territory that he would take their requests for such a secretariat to the president.
Speaking at a town hall meeting on Monday in Bwari to dissuade the youths of Abuja North from joining the planned nationwide strike slated to commence from August 1, Wike said the secretariat which is equivalent to youth ministries in the states, will be headed by a secretary which is equivalent to state commissioners.
Wike said; “I have good news for you. Following your complaints, I approached the president, and Mr President has graciously approved the creation of a Youth Secretariat for the FCT.”
Wike disclosed that he has also taken their complaints to the president on the shortchanging of the FCT in the appointment of commissioners at the Public Complaints Commission PCC where someone from Kogi state was appointed to represent FCT.
Wike assured them that the president has assured him that he would look into the matter and make amends.
He added, “Security is a critical priority in the renewed hope agenda. One police station each has been approved to be built in each area council.
“Also, nobody likes injustice. That was what informed my policy of spreading amenities, because when you are happy, allow your neighbour to be happy too. That is what brings peace.”
