The Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, FCT, Nyesom Wike has assured President Bola Tinubu of his dedication to duty as Minister.
Wike assured Tinubu that he will not disappoint in the
discharge of his duties as the FCT Minister.
He gave the assurance while addressing journalists in Abuja
in response to Tinubu’s remark.
Speaking at the State House when Wike led a delegation of
prominent FCT residents on a traditional Sallah homage to mark end of Ramadan
fasting and Eid-el-Fitr holiday, Tinubu had described the Minister as “Mr
Infrastructure.”
The president had listed some of the various initiatives and
projects executed by Wike.
He noted that these projects have translated to better lives
for FCT residents, for which he remains grateful to Wike.
Tinubu had said: “I could see the diversity of men and women
here, I must thank the Honorable Minister of FCT. It’s worth it. It
is nothing other than a privilege to be the landlord of every one of us in
Abuja, Federal Capital Territory.”
In his reaction, Wike expressed happiness for the
encouragement from the president.
According to Wike: “I feel very happy that my boss has
confidence in me. If your boss, in the public, says that you are doing that of
course, its an encouragement for you to continue doing the job that you’ve been
assigned.
“For us, we’re happy to be identified in this administration
and we’ll continue to do what Abuja people will be happy with. So I’m happy
each time Mr. President talks about us and tries to say the little we have
done, that means that he’s watching and we will not disappoint him.”
