1 year anniversary: There is hope for Nigerians, says Wike

The Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Mr. Nyesom Wike, says there is hope for Nigerians, considering the achievements of President Bola Tinubu in just one year in office.

Wike stated this in Abuja on Monday, after he inspected the Southern Parkway Road and Abuja Rail Mass Transit, in preparation for commercial inauguration on May 29.

According to Wike, Tinubu has done very well in FCT and the country in just one year, particularly in physical infrastructure and human capital development.

“Mr President “Renewed Hope” agenda is no longer a story; it’s a reality. It is a promise made and a promise fulfilled.

“I think Mr. President has done very very well in terms of reassuring Nigerians that he is committed to deliver the dividend of democracy.

“From what we have seen on the ground, there is really hope for Nigerians.

“So, we are very happy.”

He added that in FCT, Tinubu has rekindled the hope of civil servants by instituting their career progression “and I am sure the civil servants are happy”.

The minister noted that although there were some areas that needed to be looked into, one year was not enough for Tinubu to deliver 100 per cent expectations of Nigerians.

On the inauguration of the projects, Wike said: “We are good to go; just putting finishing touches.

“We have been to the Southern Parkway, and we are 100 per cent ready. Here in the Metro Line, we are also ready.

“We are happy that all our efforts have come to fruition.

“The residents are very happy and by the end of the day, the train services will be available for Nigerians.

“So, for us at FCTA, we are very very happy,” the minister said.
