Tinubu Defends FCTA's TSA Exit, Boosts Abuja Projects

President Bola Tinubu defended the decision of the Federal Capital Territory Administration (FCTA) to exit the Treasury Single Account (TSA), asserting that this policy has expedited project delivery and improved financial flexibility in Abuja. During a speech, Tinubu dismissed claims that the administration's actions interfere with the judiciary, clarifying that the executive's role is to support the justice sector without encroaching on judicial independence.

He praised Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, Nyesom Wike, for addressing long-standing land title challenges faced by the Nigerian Law School, which had delayed the issuance of certificates for years. Tinubu emphasized the importance of modernizing Abuja into a world-class capital city and highlighted ongoing infrastructure developments, including new staff quarters for the Nigerian Law School and plans for additional facilities.

He reaffirmed the administration's commitment to strengthening institutions and sustaining Nigeria's democracy through infrastructural reforms.
