FCTA, Italy MoU Will Benefit Residents- Wike

The Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Nyesom Wike says the Memorandum Of Understanding, MOU, signed during his official visit to Italy on modernized agriculture and vocational skills will be beneficial to the residents.

Wike who made this known in Abuja said the MOU with the Lombardy Regional Government aligns with President Bola Tinubu’s Renewed Hope Agenda.

He explained that the visit has further repositioned the country for more investors to come in.

According to Wike ,the agreements will significantly enhance FCT’s economy and create more employment opportunities.

Last week, the FCT Minister met with Attilio Fontana, the President of the Lombardy Regional Government in Italy, who pledged his government’s support in strengthening vocational education.

As part of this collaboration, Lombardy will establish a training center in Abuja and also facilitate the training of youths from Abuja in Lombardy.

“Our visit was very fruitful. We had a memorandum of understanding with Lombardy to establish a vocational centre in the FCT where our youths will be trained in skill acquisition, and also trying to establish some form of mechanized agriculture that will create employment for our people, and also trying to improve our economy.”

“So, I think the visit is worthwhile, and I thank the government of Lombardy for that cooperation. You know that under the Renewed Hope Agenda, if you see the shuttles Mr. President has made, it’s to create relationships with other countries and how we can cooperate to improve our country’s economy. So, I think with what we have done now, there is hope that investors will come into the country”. Wike said.
