Coalition urges Tinubu to assign FCT ministry to natives

A coalition of youth organisations under the aegis of the FCT Mandate Restoration Group has called on President Bola Ahmed Tinubu to assign the Ministry of Federal Capital Territory to a native.

Spokesperson of the group, Hajiya Zainab Umar Marafa, in a statement, said it should be assigned to an illustrious indigene, Zephaniah Jisalo, who was one of the ministerial nominees.

She noted that making Jisalo Minister of the FCT would go a long way to correct several years of injustice and marginalisation of the indigenous people of the FCT.

Hajiya Zainab stated that the original owners/indigenes of the FCT should be given their rightful positions in the scheme of things to avoid the looming danger of youth restlessness, agitation, confrontation and militancy in the territory.
