Following security alerts from the US and UK embassies, the Federal Capital Territory Administration (FCTA) has urged residents to maintain their composure.
After a security meeting called by the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, Malam Muhammad Bello, a statement was released by Muhammad Sule, Director of Information and Communication of the FCTA, stating that measures had been taken to maintain the current level of security and prevent any breaches.
The statement read, “As part of proactive measures, the minister of the federal capital territory, Malam Muhammad Bello, convened an emergency security meeting where issues concerning the security alert given by some embassies in Abuja to their citizens were exhaustively discussed and measures taken to sustain the current state of security and prevent any breach.
“The minister, during the meeting, charged the security agencies to do all within their powers to protect FCT residents from being harmed by criminals and other unscrupulous elements.
“The administration has not authorised the closure of any school; accordingly, the schools that have closed should, therefore, reopen forthwith.”
Residents and visitors to the FCT were encouraged to carry out their lawful activities fearlessly while security agencies work to ensure their safety.
Residents were also urged to always work with the security agencies by providing relevant information when asked, which would help stop criminal activity in its path.
