By: Wisdom Acka

FCT Minister, Nyesom Wike, has said that President Bola Tinubu has greatly fulfilled promises of his ‘Renewed Hope Agenda.’

The Minister stated this on Monday, while inspecting projects scheduled for commissioning by the President.

Wike carried out inspection of facilities at the Abuja light rail project, preparatory to its relaunch for commercial activities to mark Tinubu’s one year in office.

Abuja Digest recalls that Wike, in an earlier inspection of the rail project made observation of minor issues that required correction.

Speaking after the inspection exercise, the Minister said: “We are good to go. For the President, it is a promise made and a promise kept. First of all, we are very happy that all our efforts have come to fruition. It’s no longer story, but a reality.”

Asked to rate his achievements within barely eight months in office, the Minister stated that he shouldn’t rate himself. When asked about Tinubu’s performance in one year, he noted “one year is too short for any meaningful contribution” but mentioned some of the achievements so far.

He said: “So you are asking me to rate myself, however, if you say so. You can see that Mr. President has done very well, not only in physical infrastructure, but human capital development. Nothing in this world is better than career prospect, Am sure, the civil servant in the FCT are very happy their hopes have been rekindled. Their hopes have been restored.”

“Mr. President has done very well. He is reassuring Nigerians that he is committed to delivering dividends of democracy. There are so many area of attention, one year is really not enough for you to expect 100 percent, but what you’ve seen on ground, there is hope for Nigerians.”
