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.”
It was reported that bandits were seen in Kwara State and abducted six residents from Rukpete Village.
The incident was reported to have occurred on June 8 at about 11 p.m.
Sources revealed that seven people were initially taken, but an elderly man was later released, leaving six victims in captivity.
The rising cases of insecurity in the country remain quite alarming.
The state of the country is affecting many people, as they believe nowhere is safe, including schools where they keep their children.
It has been reported that some parents have started withdrawing their children from schools in Abuja.
It can be noted that rumours of bandits being sighted near a school triggered panic, causing parents to hurriedly remove their children for safety.
While the reports of bandits have not been confirmed, the school has also issued safety measures to ensure the protection of students within the premises.
It has been rumored that bandits have made their way to Lagos, and allegedly they were spotted in Ibeju-Lekki, where some residents became suspicious of them and reported the matter.
A clip of the group of men went viral online, and many people became concerned. Whether true or not, fear has been sparked among Lagosians as they worry that bandits may already be in the state. Even if the reports remain unconfirmed, many believe it is still a possibility worth paying attention to.
