Residents of the Nigerian Federal Capital Territory, (FCT) have thrown their weight behind President Bola Tinubu and the FCT Minister, Nyesom Wike, over the resurgence of Infrastructural development across the city and satellites towns.
The residents with a Slogan, Renewed Hope in Action came out to cheer the Minister while on projects inspection in Gwagwalada Area council Market, Etsu Road and A2 to Pai road in Kwali Area Councils.
The residents told the Minister that indeed Renewed Hope is working and FCT Residents are pleased to have associated with the ongoing transformation in the nation’s capital.
They thanked President Tinubu for trusting and believing in the capacity of Nyesom Wike and giving him such peculiar tasks to oversea the FCT as the Minister.
While responding, the FCT Minister, Nyesom Wike reaffirmed the reality of the Renewed Hope Agenda of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s administration, declaring that the visible impact of development projects across FCT’s satellite towns proves that hope is no longer a slogan but what they are experiencing.
Wike who expressed satisfaction with the ongoing transformation, especially in rural infrastructure said the joy of residents is the most powerful indicator of government success.
The Minister, while inspecting the A2 to Pai Road, which has now been fitted with streetlights despite being in a rural setting, emphasized the significance of purposeful leadership.
“This is the result of the right leadership. Mr. President has shown leadership, and we’re only following his vision. There’s no magic to it. When the leader is focused and provides support, those working with him have no excuse not to deliver,” he said.
While at Aguma Palace road construction, the Minister was greeted with cheers and overwhelming enthusiasm from residents, including traders and community leaders, who expressed appreciation for the improved infrastructure.
Wike further explained that, “What we saw in Aguma Palace was incredible,” Wike recalled. “The people were shouting, jubilating. That alone tells you that hope is working.”
Responding to concerns about the quality of projects being executed, especially in rural areas, Wike was emphatic, “How bad would it feel if you weren’t getting quality jobs? You’ve paid money and they’re delivering what you need of course, you’ll be happy,” he said. “The contractors know there is no room for substandard work.”
