President Bola Tinubu on Saturday said the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, FCT, Nyesom Wike, has provided “exceptional leadership at a trying time for the country.”
Tinubu reiterated that Wike is a team leader who delivers on his promises.
He spoke during the inauguration of a road in Guzape District of the Federal Capital Territory, FCT.
A statement by Tinubu’s spokesman, Ajuri Ngelale, quoted the president as saying: “It has been a very challenging time for us in the country. We are still retooling and rejigging our financial system to bring prosperity and relief to the people of this country.
“You have demonstrated the capacity to build a team, lead a team, and deliver on promises. I commend you, well done.”
Also speaking, Wike said the contract was initially awarded in 2003 at the cost of N14 billion and was divided into lots 1 and 2 to Dantata & Sawoe Construction Company Nigeria Limited and Gilmor Engineering Limited.
Wike commended Tinubu for not abandoning the project because government is a continuum.
“Dantata had left the site for long. We had to bring them back after the president approved a memorandum to that effect,” he said.
