An Abuja-based public affairs analyst and legislative consultant, Akinloye Oyeniyi, has commended the security measures taken by the Minister for Federal Capital Territory Administration, Nyesom Wike.
The commendation follows recent directive given by the Minister to ensure clearance of shanties and criminal hideouts in the federal capital to curb crime and ensure a safer environment for residents and visitors.
Other operations by the FCTA involved the latest removal of illicit structures, impounding vehicles, and seizing weapons.
In a statement released on Tuesday, Oyeniyi said the minister was not only rejigging the infrastructural aspect of Abuja and its environs, but is also focused on securing lives and properties.
According to Oyeniyi, the move by Wike is a welcomed development in the quest for improved security in the capital. “Honestly, this recent commitment to improving the FCT security is what everyone should commend the Minister and his team for. Yes, it is their job, but there is what is called commendation if an official has performed his duty well.
“In a long while, we have not had this, thus is the reason every reasonable person should commend the Federal Capital Territory Administration’s actions on Abuja public safety.” He emphasized.
Oyeniyi also called for the continuation of these efforts to ensure the federal capital remained safe and secured for residents’ well-being and the nation’s capital development.
