From Fred Itua, Abuja
Minister of the Federal Capital Territory ( FCT), Nyesom Wike on Wednesday, told worried residents that efforts were being made to end open and indiscriminate grazing within the city centre.
He gave the assurance in Abuja when he received in audience the Belgian Ambassador to Nigeria, Daniel Bertrand.
Wike stated that he had initiated multi-faceted discussions with different relevant critical stakeholders on the need to end roaming of cattle in the city.
He also noted that fighting insecurity in FCT demands multifaceted approaches which the administration was already adopting to defeat criminalities.
According to him, the FCT Administration has also intensified a partnership drive with the private sector transportation players, in a bid to beef up security in the city.
The Ambassador, Bertrand who had raised concerns over the roaming of cattle on the streets of Abuja, expressed satisfaction, learning that the Minister had initiated a fight against the menace.
Bertrand also expressed interest in getting investors from his country to partner with FCTA in the development of the nation’s capital.
