President Bola Tinubu and FCT Minister, Nyesom Wike
by DAVID IORJA, Abuja-
President Bola Tinubu has commended the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Nyesom Wike, for taking governance closer to the residents of the territory through his leadership quality.
Tinubu stated this while inaugurating newly-constructed access roads in Giri district, executed by the Wike-led FCT Administration.
Represented by the Speaker of the House of Representatives, Abbas Tajudeen, Tinubu said, “From the vast-spaced districts of Maitama, Jahi, Katampe, Wuye, Mabushi, and the likes, to the towns of Gwagwalada, Kwali, Bwari, and Abaji, and the growing communities of Kabusa, Ketti, and now Giri district, your leadership has brought progress closer to the people.”
He added that Wike’s actions have brought quality and excellence to communities long laid in the shadows.
Tinubu described the newly-constructed access roads as not just infrastructural achievements but a statement of intention to open up Giri district and the FCT.
“May these roads lead you to greater opportunities; may they carry your children to school, farmers to markets, families to healthcare, and dreams to reality,” he said.
Wike said the district houses the University of Abuja, Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) Academy, and other institutions. He added that the EFCC would be the first beneficiary of the access road, as it would encourage it to commence construction of its academy.
“We will do everything we can to see that basic infrastructure is provided in Giri to become an important district that will attract so many investors,” he said.
