President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has delivered what appeared to be his strongest public endorsement yet of the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Nyesom Wike, declaring that the former Rivers State governor has justified the confidence reposed in him to transform Abuja into a modern capital city.
Tinubu, who spoke through Vice President Kashim Shettima during the commissioning of Collector Road CN2 (Emmanuel Okanla Boulevard) and adjoining road networks in Katampe District on Friday, praised Wike’s performance in executing critical infrastructure projects across the territory.
“When I gave him the assignment to make Abuja a true capital city, I knew his track record. Barrister Wike, you have not disappointed Mr. President,” the President said.
He commended the minister for spearheading the construction of roads, water projects, judicial infrastructure and other urban renewal initiatives that have reshaped parts of the nation’s capital within a relatively short period.
“From transforming abandoned roads into new boulevards, to delivering water projects and judicial quarters, you work day and night. You do not give excuses; you give results. The people of the FCT call you ‘Mr. Project’ for a reason,” Tinubu added.
