The Federal Capital Territory Administration(FCTA) has expressed its readiness to collaborate with the Republic of Finland to enhance infrastructure, agriculture, and sustainable urban management within the nation’s capital.
The FCT minister, Nyesom Wike, stated this Tuesday during a courtesy visit by the Finnish Ambassador to Nigeria.
The meeting underscored a mutual commitment to deepening bilateral ties and exploring technical partnerships that align with the “Renewed Hope” agenda of the current administration.
During the visit, Wike highlighted Abuja’s rapid growth and the ongoing efforts to transform the city’s landscape through extensive construction projects.
He stated that the FCTA is eager to leverage Finland’s expertise in specialised sectors to maintain this momentum.
“As a city, we are willing to cooperate with the cities of other countries to see how we can partner in terms of infrastructure and agriculture.
“You have already mentioned your willingness to provide support in infrastructure development, smart city technology, and green energy. We are very willing to partner with you in these areas”, Wike stated.
The minister also assured the diplomatic community of the improved security situation in the FCT, noting that the administration remains committed to providing an enabling environment for international partners to carry out their duties safely.
A key highlight of the discussion was the FCT’s urgent interest in modernising its waste management systems.
