We will continue demolishing shanties, no amount of protest can stop us – Wike
The Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Nyesom Wike, has reaffirmed his administration’s commitment to the ongoing demolition of shanties within Abuja, stating that protests will not deter the government’s efforts.
Wike made this declaration during a visit to the Ruga community along the Wuye axis of the capital.
Channels Television reported that Wike noted that the administration will engage in dialogue with residents of shanties in Abuja to find sustainable solutions to illegal settlements. The goal, he said, is to develop long-term recommendations that will prevent the re-establishment of these makeshift communities.
Referring to a recent protest held on Friday, November 8, where demonstrators labeled the FCTA as “land grabbers,” Wike dismissed the accusations, describing the protest as a “misplaced priority.”
“We are determined to maintain the city’s master plan,” he asserted, adding that public opposition will not sway the administration’s decision to proceed with demolitions aimed at restoring order and ensuring safety within the capital.
