No more abandoned projects — Tinubu hails Wike’s results-driven leadership.

President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has praised the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Barrister Nyesom Wike, for transforming the culture of project delivery in Abuja.


The President gave the commendation on Wednesday during the commissioning of the Full Scope Development of Akinwumi Ajibola Street in the 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 stated that under his administration, there is no excuse for a lack of funds, stressing that, “We pay on time and we demand performance on time.”
He also urged residents of Gaduwa to safeguard the newly commissioned road by avoiding the dumping of refuse in drainage channels and refraining from vandalising streetlights and other road infrastructure.
“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 no district in Abuja could claim it had not benefited from the impact of the current administration.
“I’m sure it has never been so in the history of the FCT where citizens and residents can now feel and touch the impact of governance. And we believe, God being on our side, the FCT will witness even more development under this administration,” Wike said.
