President of the Senate, Godswill Akpabio, has praised the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Nyesom Wike, over ongoing projects and administrative reforms in Abuja.
Akpabio stated that only people who dislike the minister would refuse to acknowledge the changes taking place in the nation’s capital.
He spoke on Thursday during the inauguration of the interchange at the Arterial Road N16–Ring Road III Junction, which connects Jahi District and Gwarimpa District in the FCT.
The road project forms part of activities lined up to celebrate President Bola Tinubu’s 3rd year in office.
President Tinubu was represented at the event by Akpabio.
While addressing guests at the ceremony, the Senate President commended Wike’s performance both as former governor of Rivers State and as FCT minister.
Akpabio said: “The honourable Minister of FCT, the performing Minister, the game changer, Mr deliver we are very proud of you, the country is proud of you.
“Only your enemies will not see what you are doing, no matter how you work they will not see.
“Nyesom Wike as governor of Rivers State you did a lot of miracles for the state and now as Minister of FCT I don’t know how to compare whether you are better as governor of Rivers State or as Minister of the FCT.
“Let me say that God would continue to guide you, you have turned the FCT around, even in terms of administration, the FCT is no longer the same.
“Today you have Permanent Secretaries in the FCT that previous administration never had, Today you have Head of Service of the Government of the FCT that previous administration never had, Today FCT staff know that they will not retire only as directors all because of your cooperation with President Tinubu.”
