FCT, Abuja – On Wednesday, June 5, President Bola Ahmed Tinubu said appointing Nyesom Wike as the minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) was one of the best appointments he had made since the start of his administration.
Tinubu disclosed this in Abuja on Wednesday during the commissioning of the extension of the inner southern expressway (ISEX) and the outer southern expressway (OSEX) to the southern parkway.
Recall that Tinubu vowed to remove any member of his cabinet who he feels falls short of Nigerians’ expectations and assured that he would continue to do his best for the country.
The president, who was represented by Vice President Kashim Shettima, commended Wike for his commitment to his vision for a modern, prosperous, and inclusive federal capital, The Cable reported.
On the commissioned project, Tinubu said the expressway symbolises connectivity that would bridge the gap between urban and rural areas, Vanguard reported.
TimesNow.com.ng earlier reported that Nyesom Wike said he was not being distracted from running activities in Abuja over the political crisis in Rivers state.
The minister of the FCT, on Friday, May 17, said if he was being distracted, he would not be making projects available for President Tinubu to commission for his one year in office.
Wike’s comment came amid bragging by his successor in Rivers state, Siminalayi Fubara, that he had defeated the enemies of the state.
