4 Years Not Enough To Rebuild Battered Nigeria, FCT Minister Tells Youths

FCT MInister, Muhammad Musa Bello

The Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Malam Muhammad Musa Bello has said that the work of rebuilding and restoring the fortunes of Nigeria could not have been possible just within four of the Muhammadu Buhari administration.

The minister, who spoke today, Tuesday when he received the youth organization in his office, said that President deserved another four years to consolidate on the remarkable achievements recorded so far, and to take Nigeria to the next level.

Muhammad Bello stressed the need for Nigerians to elect those who would work with the President in the Senate, House of Representatives and other tiers of government to ensure that the dividends of democracy are cascaded down to the ordinary Nigerians.

The Minister said that he is committed to implementing the directives of the President in the areas of welfare of the common man justice and the rule of law to all.

“You would recall that the party we took over from was not APC, and definitely those who benefitted from the payments were not APC members, but we had to pay because it was at the root of humanity that anyone who works is entitled to the fruits of his labour.”

The Minister expressed surprise that some of the officials are still being owed and pledged to do something about it.

Earlier, the President-General of the youth organization, Commander Isaac David, commended the minister for the significant progress made in the Territory during his first term and for breaking what he described as the tradition of leaving former political office holders in lack as a result of non-payment of their severance packages.

“But since this administration came to power, Honourable Minister, you have worked to reverse the trend by ensuring that all former Councillors and political office holders are paid their severance packages.”
