Wike Promises to Upgrade 10 Rural Schools in FCT
FCT Minister Nyesom Wike has pledged to upgrade 10 schools across rural areas in the Federal Capital Territory. He made the promise during a recent media chat, saying he would immediately instruct the mandate secretary of education to begin work on the project.
“I promise ten schools. As I leave here, I will tell the mandate secretary to set up the scheme. It will be in the rural areas,” Wike said. This comes as some critics accuse the minister of focusing mainly on infrastructure while overlooking other key areas. Responding to the concerns, Wike explained that it’s unrealistic to expect equal progress in all sectors within just two years.
