“We have identified where our problems lie, and we are more united to overcome them. The result of our unity will manifest more in the Area Council elections and the general elections come 2027,” Dr. Mahmoud stated.
The Minister affirmed that the creation of Youth and Women Secretariat in FCT Administration (FCTA) by President Bola Tinubu was a deliberate and strategic attempt to carry the youth and women along in the FCT.
