Succour maybe coming the way of the people of Kulo, in Kuje Area Council, as the Federal Capital Territory Administration has indicated interest in revamping the long abandoned groundnut processing factory in the community.
This is as the Mandate Secretary, Women Affairs Secretariat, of the FCTA, Mrs Adedayo Benjamins-Laniyi, recently visited the community to access the facility and explore ways in which it can be revamped.
Kulo is a rural community in Kuje Area Council that is only accessible through Abaji Area Council.
The Secretary, during a visit to the Chief of Kulo, Chief Solomon Hassan, assured that the FCT Minister, Nyesom Wike, is passionate and committed to the Renewed Hope Initiative of bringing succour to the people in line with the aspirations of Mr President.
While asking the District Head to document challenges faced by the community, Adedayo assured the community that, the FCT Minister, will deliver on his assignment in developing the nation’s capital.
“He is the one who has packaged this visit with the Minister of State, Dr Mariya Mahmoud, who am sure will want to visit you once she gets this report”, she added.
Earlier, the District Head of the Community, Chief Solomon Hassan, said their challenges includes lack of access road, water, electricity, and employment opportunities for the youths of the community.
He said he was hopeful for a positive response from the FCT Administration after meeting with the minister recently during the Town Hall Meeting and was impressed by his plans for the FCT.
“We are grateful that he has come, it would not be out of place if you relate this to him, that you went to the rural community and one of them said they were very impressed and very glad about what he has done and is planning to do for the people of Kuje Area Council.”
The mandate secretary round up the visit with the distribution of some gift items which includes bags of rice, oils, salt, and monetary gifts to the community.
