“It means working together to address the issues that confront us, be it in the areas of education, healthcare, infrastructure, or security.
“It means fostering a culture of innovation and entrepreneurship that empowers our youth and creates opportunities for all.
“As residents of the FCT, we are not only Nigerians but also representatives of our nation’s diversity and unity,” he said.
He reiterated the FCT Administration’s dedication to enhance the infrastructural development of the FCT and improve essential social services to meet the growing needs of residents.
He, however, noted that this monumental task cannot be accomplished by the FCTA alone.
“It is a collective endeavor that requires the active participation and commitment of every resident.
“In this regard, I implore all residents to fulfill their civic responsibilities by paying their taxes promptly, including ground rents and utility bills.
“These contributions are crucial for sustaining and enhancing the services and infrastructure that make our city function smoothly.
