Reflecting on the essence of Ramadan, Wike emphasized the values of compassion, generosity, and unity that define Nigerians as a people.

He prayed for the President’s continued good health, wisdom, and divine guidance as he steers the nation towards progress.

He assured the President of the unwavering support and loyalty of FCT residents towards the administration’s policies and programs.

Wike’s delegation included a broad representation of the Federal Capital Territory’s diverse population, comprising religious, political, and traditional leaders, heads of security agencies, officials of the FCT Administration, media representatives, and everyday residents.

He noted that, despite their different backgrounds, all members of the delegation were united in their commitment to national progress and the success of Tinubu’s administration.

The Minister lauded the President’s unprecedented support for the FCT, citing several landmark achievements made possible under his leadership.

These include the approval of the FCT Administration’s exit from the Treasury Single Account (TSA), the creation of the FCT Civil Service Commission, and the establishment of two new Mandate Secretariats for Women and Youths.

Additionally, he highlighted the appointment of Permanent Secretaries, which has significantly strengthened governance and service delivery in the FCT.

Wike also acknowledged the President’s presence at the commissioning of key projects in the FCT last year, noting that such direct engagement reflects his deep commitment to the development of the nation’s capital.

The Minister revealed that several impactful projects are set for commissioning, further showcasing the administration’s dedication to enhancing infrastructure, economic opportunities, and overall quality of life.
