In order to obtain land in the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) for the construction of schools, Adewale Adeniyi, the acting comptroller general of the Nigeria Customs Service, met with Nyesome Wike, the minister of the FCT today.
In a statement released on Friday, Abdullahi Maiwada, the service’s national public relations officer, mentioned this.
Adeniyi emphasised the role of FCT in nation-building in the statement, while also congratulating Wike on his appointment.
“I think we can get it right in Nigeria by doing it right in the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), which plays a crucial role in the country,” he said.
“We think Nigerians will be excited about a knowledgeable and proud Federal Capital Territory, and we anticipate transparency and integrity,” he continued.
Because there are more than 2,500 service members stationed in Abuja, the CGC underlined the importance of having policies in place to help the service carry out its mandates in the Federal Capital.
“I am pleading with the minister to help ease this situation by providing land so that primary and secondary schools can be built in Abuja for the offspring of customs officers,” he continued.
Wike responded by promising to set aside land for buildings that will meet the needs of the service.
In order to ensure that his term is successful, Wike also pledged his unwavering support.
In due course, the land allocation request letter from NCS will be approved, as stated by the former governor of River State, who stated his ministry had received it recently.
According to Wike, “We are prepared to approve NCS’ request, but we also respect the CGC’s good intentions to establish schools to ensure quality education.” Nigeria Customs Service and we have similar policies of raising money for projects in Abuja.
