Nyesom Wike, the minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), has praised women for their significant contributions to society, stating that “as pillars of our homes and considering their roles in our society, they are worthy to be celebrated.”
Thank you for visiting The Vestigator, don't forget to share!
In his message of goodwill on this year’s International Women’s Day, the Minister thanked women, particularly those in the FCT, for their “unique roles.” In a statement released in Milan, Italy, Lere Olayinka, the FCT Minister’s Senior Special Assistant on Public Communications and Social Media, stated that “Under Wike, as the FCT Minister, women will always get their deserved recognition and positioning.”
He emphasised that women were responsible for caring for men and children, and that their contributions to the upkeep and administration of the family institution—the fundamental social unit in all societies—were always valued. Wike thanked women in the FCT in particular and urged them to keep supporting the government, promising further benefits from President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s administration’s Renewed Hope Agenda.
“To our women in the FCT, beginning with the first female Head of Service, Grace Adayilo, and the Minister of State for FCT, Dr. Mahmoud Mariya, today gives us the opportunity to say we are grateful for the impact you make,” he added.
“For us, we will keep doing our best to make life more meaningful, especially for the women who are undoubtedly, the pillars of our homes.” March 8, 2025: Lere Olayinka, Senior Special Assistant to the FCT Minister of Social Media and Public Communications
