“When the Minister assumed office in August 2023, he discovered the gap in critical communications gadgets and equipment needed to carry out efficient and effective security operations.
“Now, with this support, the security agencies will be able to carry out security operations more effectively,” he said.
Recall that the FCT Minister had, in July 2024, presented 50 operational vehicles with communication gadgets to security agencies to strengthen the fight against insecurity in the territory.
Wike had explained that the measure was to support security agencies with the needed logistics to enable them to combat crime in the FCT.
