President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has commended the Minister of Federal Capital Territory(FCT), Barrister Nyesom Wike for changing the culture of project delivery in Abuja.
Tinubu gave the commendation on Wednesday at the commissioning of the Full Scope Development of Akinwumi Ajibola Street in Gaduwa District of the FCT.
Tinubu was represented at the event by the President of the Senate, Godswill Akpabio.
Addressing the FCT Minister, Tinubu said: “Minister Wike, let me put it on record. You have changed the culture of delivery in the FCT. You ended the era of mobilisation without movement. You ended the era of abandoned inner roads while major highways took all the attention.
“You are taking development from the city centre into the districts and the satellite towns, street by street, so that no resident is left behind. That is leadership.
“You inspect, you correct, you finish. Minister, you have my confidence, you have my commendation and the FCT has your results. Well done to you and to your team.”
The President said under his administration, there was no excuse of no money adding that “we pay on time and we demand performance on time.”
He charged the residents of Gaduwa to protect the street that was commissioned by refraining from dumping refuse in the drains and not to vandalise the streetlights or road furniture.
“My fellow residents, we will not stop here. Across the FCT, from the Central Area to the Area Councils, our task is fixed: finish what matters, connect what was separated and ensure that public funds show up as public value. Every district deserves access. Every citizen deserves to feel government where they live. Together we can make it happen,” Tinubu said.
In his remarks, the FCT Minister, Nyesom Wike said there is no district in Abuja that would complain of not feeling the impact of the current administration.
“I’m sure it has never been so in the history of the FCT where citizens, residents can now feel and touch the impact of governance. And we believe, God being on our side, FCT will see more development under this administration,” Wike said.
