The Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Nyesom Wike, has revealed to everyone that cares to know that he is acting on President Bola Tinubu’s directive by undertaking on some of the projects in the capital city.
He said: “Now, we forget the fact that Mr. President as President has agents or people who carry out his directives or instructions.”
“Through us, we’re carrying out the directive, we’re carrying out instructions, we’re carrying out the vision of Mr. President. And one of the visions he has is that FCT must compete favorably with other cities of the world. And that is what we’re doing.”
“Look at the topography, look at the landscape. By the time these roads are completed, the drainage is put in place, the streetlight is on. What are we talking about? Wike further disclosed that these projects are creating employment for residents of the capital city.”
“Look at the employment that is being created every day. One company carrying out one construction or the other, tomorrow will be another place where another company will be carrying out construction.”
“Wednesday the same thing. Thursday the same thing. And our teaming youths are all engaged in this. That is creation of a job. That is creation of employment.”
“If you look at the picture, look at the picture of this place. If you look at the topography and it comes out this way. For those of you who have had the opportunity to travel overseas, it is not as if it is magic.”
“It is because of commitment. It is because the leadership wants to be committed and wants to do the work. And that is what the President is doing today.”
