FCT Min,Wike distributes 80 cars to financially empower youths, reduce transport costs

Wike, at the event in Abuja on Thursday, explained that the goal was to empower the youths financially and also reduce the cost of transportation in the FCT. He said that the programme was part of the FCT Administration’s efforts to empower and develop the youths to contribute meaningfully to the development of the territory.

He explained that the vehicles would be used as a pilot transportation scheme in Asokoro, Maitama and Guzape before expanding to other parts of the FCT. He added that more vehicles would be procured and distributed to other beneficiaries across all areas of the FCT, including area councils.

He said that the brand new vehicles, painted in FCT colour, would be given to the first set of beneficiaries free but on the condition that they charge less transport fee from residents.
