Wike Warns Against Sabotage Of President Tinubu's Government

Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) Nyesom Wike has cautioned top officials of the administration against sabotaging President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s government.
Wike gave the warning on Thursday during the flag-off of the rehabilitation of 19 public schools across the six area councils of the FCT.

Starting with the FCT School for the Gifted, the Minister said the current administration was not just focused on providing access to education but will also provide quality education through the provision of conducive teaching and learning environment for all children in the territory

He disclosed that the funding for the rehabilitation project was from the 2023 Supplementary Budget, adding that an additional 20 schools will also benefit from the initiative through the “whole-school rehabilitation approach” under the 2024 budget.

The FCT Administration in January, 2024 announced that it was committing N13.1 billion to the renovation and rehabilitation of 40 schools, under the accelerated whole-school rehabilitation approach.

The whole school rehabilitation approach was designed to rehabilitate entire school infrastructure and facilities, including toilets, hostels, dining and provision of furniture and water.
Wike said: “Today we are here to flag-off the rehabilitation and reconstruction of 19 schools. These 19 schools is based from the Supplementary Budget of 2023. I want to assure you that for 2024 Budget, we are also going to select another 20 schools for rehabilitation and reconstruction.

“As Minister of State said, education is key to every development. It’s the mandate of Mr President that we must not only sponsor education, we must also take health. I can assure you that now that the budget has been passed, we will come back to Gwagwalada for the General Hospital and make sure you are given the best.

Let me assure the contractors that nobody will be owed. I made sure that before I left the office, I had made sure your mobilisation was sent to the bank. I have told the treasury that woe betide anybody who sabotages the effort of this present government lead by President Tinubu”.
