A group, Arewa Youth Assembly, has declared total support for the minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) Abuja, Nyesom Wike, over the way he has been handling security issues in the nation’s capital.
The youths said it doesn’t require rocket science to know that Wike, since his appointment, has remained committed to securing the lives and properties of Abuja residents.
At a press conference in Abuja, the speaker, Arewa Youth Assembly, Mohammed Salihu Danlami, insisted that Wike has also significantly impacted in the areas of infrastructural development, economic empowerment, social welfare, sustainable development, and community engagement.
Danlami said, “For the purpose of this conference and as a refresher, it is imperative to highlight some of the efforts of the honourable minister in curbing the security challenges that have befallen the Federal Capital Territory.
“To ensure the safety and security of life and property of Abuja residents, the minister has approved the formation of two joint-security task forces comprising all security agencies domiciled in the FCT to curtail the activities of one-chance syndicates, armed robbers, kidnappers, and all forms of criminality within the territory and its environs.

“Given the directive for setting up two new divisional police stations in the Gwagwalada community for law enforcement and curbing criminal activities in the area.
