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 North East Development Commission (NEDC) has warned the public against a fake and unauthorised message circulating on social media about an alleged Education Support Fund for Master’s degree (MSc) students.

The Commission, in a disclaimer signed by its management on Friday, described the purported programme, including its stated requirements and the alleged submission point at the NEDC office in Polo, Maiduguri, as false and unauthorised.

According to the Commission, it is not currently receiving applications for any MSc Education Support Fund as contained in the circulating message.

NEDC therefore urged prospective applicants and other members of the public to disregard the information and avoid submitting personal documents to individuals or locations claiming to be acting on behalf of the Commission.

It specifically cautioned the public against releasing sensitive documents such as National Identification Number (NIN) slips, admission letters, identity cards and indigene certificates in connection with the purported programme.

The Commission further warned the public to remain vigilant against fraudulent schemes and the unauthorised use of NEDC’s name and identity to deceive unsuspecting applicants.

It advised members of the public seeking information on its programmes, interventions and opportunities to rely only on official NEDC communication channels and verified announcements issued by the Commission
