The Minister, Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Malam

Muhammad Musa Bello has admonished Abuja residents to always uphold peace, unity, love for one another and the progress and growth of the nation’s capital and country at large.

Bello particularly noted that residents should always be guided by such principles on which were FCT was created.

He also stressed the need for all to abide by all extant rules and regulations guiding living in the city at this time especially as they pertain to traffic and sanitation.

“As residents of the FCT, we are obliged to always uphold these principles and continue to work hard for the unity and progress of our dear country.

“Permit me to also use this opportunity to remind residents that the elections are over and the time for healing and coming together as a common people with a common destiny is now upon us.

“Let us eschew all utterances and actions that tend to divide us and instead, promote those that unite us and advance the peace, stability and economic and social growth of our country. We should remember that we, as residents of the FCT, are stronger together in spite of our differences”, the Minister said, in his Eid-el-Fitr message.

He continued: “We should therefore join hands together with each other and the in-coming Administration to continue to build the FCT, in accordance with the dreams of the founding fathers.

“We should realize that attaining our collective dreams for the FCT cannot be achieved without the collaboration and cooperation of all.

“The FCT Administration will continue to work hard to fulfill its mandate of developing for our country a Capital Territory which will remain the pride of every Nigerian, within and outside our country”.

He adds: “Let us pray also that the lessons learnt during Ramadan will inspire us to continue to live our lives with kindness and compassion towards one another which are virtues that residents of the FCT have exhibited time and again in the past.

“I urge us all to be security conscious and imbibe the mantra of saying something when we see something and also cooperate with law enforcement officers at all times”.
