The Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, Nyesom Wike, has said that the FCT Administration had commenced the procurement processes for drones to boost the security architecture of the territory.<\/p>\n
Wike made this disclosure when the Consul-General of the Embassy of Hungary in Nigeria, Endre Deri, paid him a courtesy visit on Thursday in Abuja.<\/p>\n
While responding to the consul-general\u2019s comments on the need for drones, the minister said, \u201cWhether we want some drones? Yes, there is no going back.\u201d<\/p>\n
He promised to discuss with security experts to consider a conversation with Deri on the type of drones that would be effective and efficient, based on the terrain of the FCT.<\/p>\n
He said that security was part of President Bola Tinubu\u2019s priorities in his Renewed Hope Agenda.<\/p>\n
The minister said that the security interventions in the FCT were already yielding results, stressing that incidents of insecurity had drastically reduced.<\/p>\n
\u201cYou too can attest to the fact that Abuja is safer now, because of the way we have been able to tackle the issue,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n
Earlier, Deri expressed the willingness of Hungary to partner with FCTA to improve security in the territory.<\/p>\n
