Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, Mallam Muhammad Musa Bello, has said there is need for Nigerian youths to rise above clannish tribal and ethnic sentiments and unite to work together for the benefit of the country.

He, however, described the policies and programmes of President Muhammadu Buhari as laying solid foundations that will rediscover Nigeria for the benefits of the youths.


Bello made this known during the Iftar Ramadan breakfast with FCT youths at his official residence in Life Camp, adding that the present administration is essentially holding forth for the youths.

According to him, the progress, prosperity and tremendous transformation that is happening in the country is being done for the benefits of the youths.


His words: “Most of us here are basically just holding forth for you. The strength, progress, prosperity and the tremendous amount of transformation that is going to happen in this country is going to be done during your time.

“So, what Mr. President and his team are doing now is basically to rediscover Nigeria for your benefit, to lay a very solid foundation so that it becomes easier for you to govern it, live in it and to provide all the benefits for the teeming population.”

The Minister stressed, “We have to be friendly to each other, we have to love each other, we have to be united, we have to be disciplined, we have to be honest, we have to be hardworking and above all, we have to be very broad minded to accept your neighbours, irrespective of their tribe, religion and whatever they do and to work for the good of the community. If we do these, the sky is going to be the limit for all of us.”

“If all of you put heads together and really unite as Abuja symbolizes, then when it is your time, you are going to govern over a country that will be solid, that will be prosperous and that is going to be the envy of all African nations and all nations of the world,” he added.

He equally charged youths resident in the FCT to continue to work towards improving the security and harmonious coexistence within the city to ensure it remains the city that cherished is by Africa and the wider world.

Citing a recent statistics that shows that a larger proportion of FCT population is comprised of youths, the FCT Minister charged the youths to guard a city very jealously, including its security, beauty as well as its harmonious inter-religious, inter-communal and inter-ethnic relationships.


“Abuja as a city is something that many people from other parts of the world admire and cherish, we must therefore guard it jealously,” the minister said.

Earlier, the Senior Special Assistant to the President on Social Investment Programme, Barrister Ismaeel Ahmed, thanked the Minister for the honour and reception given to them by agreeing to host the youths to a special Ramadan breakfast dinner.

He commended President Muhammadu Buhari for signing the not too young to run Bill into Law, urged the FCT Minister to create more opportunities for youths to serve in the FCT Administration to also make them, “not too poor to run.”

According to him, “We hope that when you come back as Minister of FCT in 2019, the appointments into the FCTA will be full of young and vibrant people,” he said.

He therefore, urged FCT residents to consider participating in elections in the FCT and not always running back home to their places of origin to cast their votes during elections.

According to him, “Whoever it is that resides in Abuja, we implore you not to be carrying your bags and your family to be going back home of origin to go and vote. Stay where you are to cast your vote.”

Only Buhari is guilty of that even though he is an old man.

You stop religious sentiment first sir

It is no more a buhari against igbos tin..Its is now a buhari against nigeria sumtin..So it is time to work with any nigerian against bad governance..Let's work together.

I think this is the most hard working of all Buhari's ministers. And he never makes noise about what he is doing.
