The Chairman of Federal Capital Territory Football Association, FCT F.A Mohammed Mouktar Adam has commended the appointment of immediate past Governor of Rivers State His Excellency Nyesom Wike as new boss of the territory.

Mouktar while commending the appointment said the President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has made the right choice by bringing Wike popularly known as Mr. Project to oversee the affairs of the nation’s capital.

“I have no doubt that Abuja will take a new look in terms of providing necessary sports facilities in the six area councils. I also believe that with Mr. Project, most lands map out for sports facilities in the city centre converted into shopping malls will be recovered and put into use as designated in the Abuja master plan”. Said Mouktar.

He also emphasised the need for the new fct minister to start the process of completing mini stadia initiated by the previous ministers in the local councils but left either uncompleted or abandoned.

“I sincerely believe that the new Territory Boss can accomplish the completion of abandoned sports facilities within a short time knowing his experience and capacity in terms of project and even initiate building of modern stadium in the territory that can host FIFA and other international competitions “.

The Director-General of the Citizenship and Leadership Training Centre (CLTC), Ms. Rinsola Abiola, has reaffirmed the Centre’s commitment to raising young Nigerians who are productive, innovative, and imbued with patriotism, service, and integrity.

She gave the assurance on Monday in Abuja in her goodwill message at the ongoing two-day Retreat on Presidential Priorities and Deliverables — 2025 Mid-Term Review, where she also commended the Ministry of Youth Development, led by Hon. Ayodele Olawande, for championing youth-focused initiatives under the Renewed Hope Agenda of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu.

According to Abiola, the retreat provides a unique opportunity to review and realign efforts to ensure that government policies and programmes translate into measurable impact in the lives of Nigerian youths.

“This retreat is both timely and strategic. It provides a platform to collectively review, align, and sharpen our focus on the priorities of Mr. President. More importantly, it allows us to deepen collaboration within the youth development sector to ensure that government policies deliver real change to our young people,” she said.

Highlighting the Centre’s achievements, Abiola disclosed that over 6,000 youths have been trained in value orientation and re-orientation in the just-concluded half-year period. She emphasized that the CLTC, with its long history of building citizenship values, leadership capacity, discipline, and volunteerism, remains steadfast in supporting the Ministry’s mandate and national priorities.

“We see ourselves as partners in this great task of nation-building. Our goal is to raise young Nigerians who are not only productive and innovative but also committed to the spirit of service, patriotism, and integrity,” she added.

Abiola urged stakeholders and participants at the retreat to bring forward actionable strategies that would strengthen coordination, eliminate bottlenecks, and accelerate delivery on presidential mandates.

She concluded by reaffirming CLTC’s readiness to collaborate with the Ministry and other agencies to advance youth development across Nigeria.
