***Promises to Focus on Education, Complete Kuje Road, and Change Abuja’s Narrative
Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Barr. Nyesom Wike, has reaffirmed his unwavering loyalty and support for President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, declaring that his administration’s visible transformation of Abuja is a direct reflection of the President’s vision for renewed hope and national development.
Wike, who spoke during a project inspection and commissioning tour, said he had no regrets supporting Tinubu and would continue to align his efforts in the FCT with the President’s developmental agenda. “For all of you who supported Mr. President, be assured I will also support you. I said it here if you are supporting Asiwaju Bola, I’m going to support you. Anywhere you are, the moment I know you are with Asiwaju, you get my support under the FCT. So, if you know you have not changed your mind, don’t change your mind, because very soon there will be a political tsunami,” he declared.
Commending contractors for their dedication to ongoing infrastructure projects, Wike particularly lauded Arab Contractors for their commitment to the completion of the Airport–Kuje road despite outstanding payments. “I thank you sincerely. I’ve seen what you are doing from Airport to Kuje. Those who knew Kuje before should go there now and see what Asiwaju’s government is doing the difference is clear. Asiwaju has changed the entire landscape of our city, not just in the city but also in the satellite towns,” he said.
The Minister also used the occasion to commend the staff of the FCT Administration for their hard work and dedication, urging them to hold their heads high. “Let me thank everybody who works with FCT. All of you have done well. Those who are not happy will never be happy in their life. Everywhere you go as an FCT staff, carry your shoulder high,” he said, adding that his focus would soon shift to revamping education across the territory. “After this round of commissioning, I will take a short rest and come back to focus on education. I will not stop there. I will change the narratives and show the opposition that FCT is working.”
He further emphasized that his commitment to delivering projects was not driven by politics but by service to the people. “What’s important is the job being done. There were no roads, no infrastructure, and our businesses were going down. We are changing that story. It’s not about the religion I belong to it’s about listening to the people and solving their problems,” Wike stated.
In her remarks, the FCT Minister of State, Dr. Mariya Mahmoud, said the project represents a commitment to providing communities with the infrastructure and comfort they have long deserved.
“As we celebrate this achievement, let us remember that every milestone is a promise kept, and every completion marks a new beginning,” she stated.
Dr. Mahmoud expressed profound gratitude to President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, noting that his Renewed Hope Agenda continues to illuminate every corner of the Federal Capital Territory. She also commended the FCT Minister, Barr. Nyesom Wike, for his exemplary leadership and unwavering commitment to delivering projects that touch lives and uplift communities across the territory.
