Abuja: The Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Mr. Nyesom Wike, has expressed that President Bola Tinubu is strategically positioning Nigeria on a trajectory of positive development. Wike made this assertion in Abuja during the inauguration of the construction of Collector Road C01 in the Institution and Research District.
According to News Agency of Nigeria, the new road will serve as a crucial link connecting the Body of Benchers complex to the Nile University and Baze University areas. Wike emphasized that while President Tinubu may not resolve all of Nigeria’s challenges, he is committed to setting the nation on a sustainable path of progress. He noted that leadership is a continuum, stating, “When he finishes, another person will come and continue from there.”
Wike acknowledged the inevitability of challenges, underscoring that no leader could address every issue within a single term or administration. “What matters is that, when you have an opportunity, you make your own contribution. History will record what you did while in office, and that is what truly counts,” he remarked.
Furthermore, Wike assured that his administration in the FCT would persist in delivering projects aimed at fulfilling the citizens’ needs, utilizing the available time and resources efficiently. He highlighted that the primary beneficiaries of the new road would be the two private universities in the vicinity rather than the Body of Benchers.
Wike expressed hope that these institutions would recognize and appreciate the efforts of the Tinubu administration, stating, “If you recognise such efforts, you become a good citizen, and that is the duty of every good citizen.”
