Youths from FCT-based indigenous communities protested at the National Assembly’s offices on Wednesday over what they claimed is the FCT’s ongoing marginalization of its citizens.
The demonstrators are opposed to Solomon Adodo’s nomination to the North Central Development Commission (NCDC) Board under the banner of the FCT Youth Stakeholders Forum.
Zakari Gambo Babale, Adodo, a group leader, claims that the Benue State commission already has several members. He believes that FCT’s indigenous people are underrepresented in his nomination to the NDDC board.
