Senator Ireti Kingibe, who represents the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) in the Senate, has thrown her full support behind the proposed ₦1.78 trillion FCT budget, urging her colleagues to approve it without amendments.
Speaking during deliberations on the budget, Senator Kingibe praised the Minister of the FCT, Nyesom Wike, for what she described as a “well-presented and comprehensive” financial plan for the territory.
“As the senator representing the FCT, I want to also commend the FCT Minister, Wike. It’s a well-presented budget, and I ask my colleagues to pass the ₦1.78 trillion budget as it is,” she said.
The budget, which is the highest ever proposed for the FCT, covers key infrastructure, healthcare, education, and urban development initiatives aimed at transforming the capital city.
Senator Kingibe’s endorsement adds momentum to the minister’s efforts to fast-track development projects within the capital and may influence wider Senate approval in the coming days.
