Youths seek committed minister for FCT

After expressing their disappointment over the absence of an indigenous ministerial nominee for the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), some youths have requested President Muhammadu Buhari to ensure that a qualified and committed person is appointed to run the Territory.

The youths under the auspices of Original Inhabitants Youths Empowerment Organisation appealed to President Buhari to choose a truly committed, detribalised and focused Minister of the FCT who will implement the recommendations of various committees set up to address the grievances of the indigenous people.

Their President, Isaac David said, “Appointments into political offices at national level are regulated by the 1999 Constitution section 14 and by the Federal Character Establishment Act of 1997. The Act requires that appointments into political and other offices should be given to candidates who are indigenous to the FCT and the States of Nigeria.”
