Nyesom Wike, the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), has affirmed the approval of a 2-billion-naira palliative by President Bola Tinubu for the FCT.

During a meeting with contractors in his office on Monday, following the inaugural Federal Executive Council (FEC) session of the current administration, Wike disclosed this information.

The minister verified the allocation of the 2-billion-naira fund to provide relief to FCT residents, with a primary focus on addressing transportation challenges.
