One year after President Bola Tinubu’s administration assumed office, the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) has seen improvements in security, according to the Department of State Service (DSS).
This was said by Adamu Gwary, the department director for the FCT administration, in a Tuesday interview with reporters.
Gwary added that there had been less instances of security breaches and that he was pleased with the way the Tinubu-led administration has handled security in the Federal Capital Territory.
He claims that after Nyesom Wike became the FCT Minister in August 2023, the security situation has greatly improved.
However, certain groups oppose the disintegration of the newly formed Emirates.
Senator Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso, the head of the ruling New Nigerian Peoples Party (NNPP) in Kano, has stated that the subject of the emirates would be reevaluated one month prior to Governor Abba Kabir Yusuf taking office.
According to the security group, manhood theft has been totally eradicated in the area by the authorities.
“We receive not only a situational report from security agencies, but from members of the public.
“In the past, it used to be a daily affair where you will hear there are these issues, there are those issues, here and there, within the city, the environs, and the suburbs of the FCT.
“But today, sometimes a whole week will pass without any report.
“We have an interface with traditional rulers, who give us intelligence reports, which we process and forward to responsible security agencies, but this has really died down.
“Also, if you recall, the issue of theft of manhood was at its peak at the commencement of the Tinubu-led Administration, but that has been completely addressed.
“This is not to say that we are there, but the improvement is very visible in terms of the reduced number of reported cases of criminal activities,” he said.
He credited the FCT minister’s initiative in fostering strong community ties and giving security forces equipment and logistical support for their accomplishments.
