Subsidy removal: Wike reveals what he’s planning to do in FCT

The Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) Abuja, Nyesom Wike, has stated that the ministry is considering transportation and food supplies support with the N5 billion palliative received from the Federal Government.

Wike said this in Abuja on Monday after a closed-door meeting with contractors handling different projects in the FCT.

The minister said that the FCT was not included in the N5 billion palliative until he wrote a memo informing President Bola Tinubu of the development.

He added that Tinubu has approved the amount, adding that other states have received N2 billion already, expressing confidence that the FCT will equally receive soon.

“But we are yet to decide on what to do with the N2 billion palliative. We have not chosen any area yet.

“Are we going to concentrate on food, but we are thinking that the issue of transportation is very very important, particularly the urban mass transit.

“People would like to have easy transportation to go to where they want to go, and if you give them rice and they eat the rice today, what about transportation tomorrow?

“So, we have not come up with what actually we are going to use the money for, but I believe food support and transportation is very key,” he said.
