Wike Empowers Abuja Youth with 80 Free Vehicles
On Thursday, Nyesom Wike, the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), distributed 80 vehicles to young people in Abuja as part of the Renewed Hope Youth Empowerment Initiative.
This event marked the culmination of nine days of project flag-offs aimed at enhancing the lives of the youth in the nation’s capital.
During the flag-off ceremony, Wike emphasized the Federal Government’s commitment to empowering the youth of the FCT.
He outlined the details of the vehicle distribution, which included 30 Sports Utility Vehicles (SUVs), 30 seven-seater Suzuki Minibuses, and 20 14-seater Hiace buses.
The minister mentioned that these vehicles are designed to create employment opportunities and help reduce transportation costs within the city.
Wike stressed that the government is providing these brand-new vehicles free of charge to beneficiaries selected from the six area councils of the FCT.
He encouraged the recipients to use the vehicles responsibly and for the intended purpose.
“These are brand new vehicles, and they are not paying a dime,” he stated.
“The government is offering this support to ensure you have the means to support your family and to help lower transportation costs in the city.”
A viral clip has made its way online showing a police officer in Delta State shooting a suspect who had already been restrained.
It can be noted that the suspect was pleading, claiming he had been framed and deceived, and said he would lead them to the right place.
However, while he was pleading, the police officer shot him. The officer later stated that the suspect was armed with a gun.
It was later revealed that the police officer has been arrested, as it is against the law to shoot a restrained suspect.
It was reported by the Kogi State Government that 24 children were abducted from an orphanage home. It was shared that this happened on the 26th of April, Sunday, and gunmen were seen in the area that day.
The information was shared by the Commissioner of Information, Kingsley Fanwo, who shared this sad news and described it as unfortunate.
“We condemn in strong terms the abduction of innocent children from an orphanage, the government is working closely with security operatives to ensure their safe return,”
