As he marks one year in office, President Bola Tinubu has assured he will not let the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, FCT, Nyesom Wike, down.
Tinubu gave the assurance yesterday while commissioning the Southern Parkway, S8/S9, from Christian Centre to Ring Road 1, Nnamdi Azikiwe Way, which was named Bola Ahmed Tinubu Way.
Describing the minister as a good team leader and “Mr Project,” the president applauded Wike for giving Abuja residents hope through legacy projects.
He said if not for Wike, the project would have been abandoned.
According to Tinubu: “The completion of the Southern Parkway underscores our commitment to inclusive and sustainable development, as we strive to build a world-class capital city. We recognise the fact that infrastructure is an enabler of jobs, economic development and prosperity. We believe we are going to achieve all of that.
“The needs of our citizens are paramount in our minds, so by making our citizens the central focus of our development, we believe Nigeria will succeed.
“As we formally inaugurate this road, I am greatly honoured, I heard him mention my name as the beneficiary. Thank you very much; thank you for being a very good team leader, we all collectively will not let you down.”
