The Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, FCT, Barr. Nyesom Wike, has urged residents to be patient with President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s government as Nigerians struggle with the economic challenges.
Wike made this call on Saturday during the inspection of the Kuje 11 km road projects at the Kuje Area Council in the Capital City.
He enjoined residents to be patient and support the government, noting that the people’s economic hardship will soon be a thing of the past, adding that the challenges cannot be fixed overnight.
“Your hope was lost before, but the present administration has brought back hope to the people. The government was taking measures to alleviate the current economic hardship in the country and will also continue to provide basic infrastructure to the people.”
The minister also inspected the 11 Km Highway 105 which links the Outer Southern Expressway to the Kuje township and the 5 km emergency asphalt carriageway running through Kuje town.
This will ensure that residents have good roads to access their farms and markets, standard hospitals and good schools for their children, he said.
The Minister assured that the projects inspected will be completed before the end of the year and urged the contractors to ensure they deliver the projects at the scheduled time.
Wike noted that the challenges in the country could not be fixed overnight and urged residents to exercise more patience and support the President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s administration.
However, the minister who sued for peace in the territory, called on residents to shun all acts that could sabotage efforts made by the administration to bring hope back to the people.
