Gbagyi leaders have called for the creation of a state from the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), greater political representation and a common agenda to address what they described as the marginalisation of their people.
They made the call at the second edition of the Most Influential Gbagyi in Nigeria (MIGIN) awards and magazine ceremony held in Abuja yesterday where speakers also stressed the need for educational development, cultural preservation, accountable leadership and youth empowerment.
In his welcome address, the pioneer and chief executive officer of the MIGIN awards, Dr Isreal Lissa, urged the federal government to grant state status to the FCT, create more area councils, establish an FCT House of Assembly and increase the territory’s senatorial districts from one to three.
