Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, FCT, Nyesom Wike, has said the FCT University of Science and Technology in Abaji, will commence operations under President Bola Tinubu’s administration.
Wike made the disclosure on Tuesday in Abaji during his thank you tour to the area council for supporting Tinubu’s candidates in the February 21 FCT area council elections.
He said the FCT Administration is already developing the necessary infrastructure and critical facilities required for the university’s take-off.
Wike urged residents to remain patient, stressing that the university would become a reality within Tinubu’s tenure.
“From our conversations, we see how important the university is, not only to Abaji people but to all residents of the FCT. It will create jobs and open the Abaji community to further development. I will be glad to be the one to open the university for operations,” he said.
The minister said he visited Abaji to thank residents for fulfilling their promise to support the President and emphasized the importance of appreciating good deeds.
Describing politics as a game of give and take, Wike said the era of empty promises was over.
“This time, leaders must show people they will deliver good governance. You cannot promise everything during elections and disappear afterwards without fulfilling those promises.
“We sat with you and asked that you support Tinubu, beginning with the area council elections. The election was held on February 21 and you fulfilled that promise. You came out in large numbers and delivered 133 of the 135 polling units in the council for Tinubu.
“What else can we say but thank you? Now you have done your part, we will do ours too. Abaji people have spoken and they have spoken very well,” he said.
Wike described the outgoing Abaji Area Council Chairman, Abubakar Abdullahi, as a humble leader.
