The Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, Barr. Ezenwo Nyesom Wike, has approved the upgrade of all traditional stools across the FCT. During a visit to Abaji on March 10, he elevated every second-class ruler to first class and all third-class chiefs to second class, praising their role in peace and cultural preservation. Wike commended Abaji residents for delivering victory in 133 of 135 polling units during the February 21 council elections.
