The FCT minister,  Nyesom Wike, has approved funds for the maintenance of the National Mosque and the National Christian Centre.

The Minister made this known after inspecting the two religious centers on Thursday.

The minister said he was satisfied with the work done at both the National Mosque and the Christian centre, despite the initial stoppage of the work by contractors due to additional works to be done.

He said the Christian Centre had requested funds for Phase 2 of the renovation, noting however that if the FCT did not have the funds to complete the project, he will meet with President Bola Tinubu for more funds.

He said “Jobs were awarded for the maintenance of the two National Monuments, which is the Mosque and the Church, and the jobs stopped because there were additional works that ought to be done.

‘’I’m satisfied with all I have seen today and I have given the approval that the money should be released to the contractors to complete the additional project.

He said the maintenance of both religious centres were part of President Tinubu’s Renewed Hope agenda, and that the President was not against any religion, but was interested in inclusivity for persons of both faiths.
