The Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Nyesom Wike, has confirmed that President Bola Tinubu has approved two billion naira as palliative for the FCT.

Wike revealed this when he met with contractors in his office after the maiden Federal Executive Council (FEC) meeting of the current administration.

Confirming the approval of the two billion as palliative for FCT residents, the minister indicated that the fund will primarily solve the challenge of transportation.

He declared that although the Federal Government is looking to increase funding for projects, the FCT Administration will also consider its internally generated revenue.
