₦36.5bn for Magistrate Court & Sports Center: Is This What the FCT Currently Needs?
The Federal Capital Territory Administration (FCTA) has approved a whopping ₦36.5 billion for the construction of a new Magistrate Court and Sports Center in Abuja. While the government justifies this investment as a step toward enhancing the judicial system and promoting sports development, many Nigerians are asking: Is this the priority right now?
With pressing issues like inadequate healthcare facilities, rising insecurity and high rate of unemployment, some believe the funds could be better allocated to essential public services. Others might argue that a well functioning judiciary and improved sports infrastructure will have long term prospect.
should the government proceed with this project, or should the money be redirected to more urgent needs?
