โThe FCT minister, his excellency Nyesomย Wike, has given complete support, especially in terms of logistics for this operation.
โHe has given approval and I am sure that by the time weโll be leaving here later, I mean today, the funds for fueling, for servicing of the vehicles and even allowances for the men will have dropped into an account that we can assess,โ he said.
