The Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Mr Nyesom Wike, has said that President Bola Tinubu is addressing the needs of FCT residents through impactful road and infrastructure projects.
Wike made the remark on Friday during an inspection of the Aguma Palace and Market roads in Gwagwalada, as well as the A2 to Pai road project in Kwali Area Council.
The minister said he felt fulfilled seeing residents express joy over the government’s efforts.
“We are happy when people are happy. When they express their happiness over government performance, it energises us and shows we’re doing the right thing,” he said.
Wike noted the overwhelming enthusiasm of residents, especially at Aguma Palace road, where traders and locals cheered the progress made.
“They were shouting that the Renewed Hope agenda is working. It’s not just a slogan, it’s something Nigerians are now appreciating,” he said.
Commenting on the A2 to Pai road, Wike expressed amazement at the development, pointing out that even satellite towns were now equipped with streetlights.
“You won’t believe this is a road in a satellite town,” he remarked, praising the pace of development.
Wike attributed the achievements to President Tinubu’s leadership, adding that with the right leadership, results were inevitable.
“Mr. President has shown me good leadership. There is no magic to it, when you have the right leadership, everyone aligns with the vision,” he said.
He further acknowledged Tinubu’s support, stating that he had been given all the tools needed to perform, leaving no room for excuses.
“We are very happy that we are fulfilling the promises we made,” Wike added.(NAN)
