FCT Minister, Nyesom Wike, to Hold Monthly Media Chat Today Amid Clash with Soldiers

The Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Nyesom Wike, is set to hold his monthly media chat today, Wednesday, November 13, 2025, by 12:00 PM, in Abuja.

This month’s briefing comes at a particularly tense time, following the recent clash between the FCT Task Force and soldiers during an enforcement operation in Abuja an incident that has sparked public debate and raised questions about the limits of the Minister’s authority and the coordination between civilian and military agencies in the capital.

Wike is expected to use the platform to clarify the circumstances surrounding the confrontation, outline the position of the FCT Administration, and reaffirm his government’s commitment to law enforcement, orderliness, and security within the territory.

Beyond the security controversy, the Minister is also likely to speak on other critical issues, including ongoing infrastructure projects, environmental sanitation, urban renewal efforts, and the administration’s broader policy direction as the year draws to a close.

The media chat, which will be broadcast live on television, radio, and online platforms, serves as Wike’s main avenue to directly engage with the public and the press, addressing both achievements and controversies within his administration.

Residents and political observers across the FCT are keenly watching to hear how the Minister will respond to the latest developments and what new measures may follow in the aftermath of the clash.
