Wike has committed no infraction in borrowings, says Rep

The Deputy Spokesperson of the House of Representatives, Philip Agbese, has denied allegations that Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, Nyesom Wike, obtained loans for the territory without the approval of the National Assembly. Agbese stated that there was no evidence to suggest that Wike breached any laws in financing projects and programmes in the FCT.

He explained that public borrowing is subject to constitutional, statutory, and administrative processes involving relevant government institutions, and that Wike had consistently subjected the administration of the FCT to legislative scrutiny.
