Nyesom Wike, the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), on Friday promised to probe the N8.9 billion monthly salary bill in the Federal Capital Territory Administration (FCTA).

The FCT Minister said his quest for justice was the reason he and the G5 group of supported the presidential ambition of Bola Tinubu in the 2023 election. (GBN)
