Nigeria: 'Tinubu Transforming FCT to a Befitting Nation's Capital'

The FCT Minister, Nyesom Wike, says President Bola Tinubu's administration is transforming the FCT into a befitting nation's capital.

Wike stated this on Sunday during a Thanksgiving Service at St. James' Anglican Church, Asokoro, Abuja, for the successful completion of project inaugurations by President Tinubu to celebrate his second year in office.

The minister noted that nothing was moving in the nation's capital until the coming of Tinubu's administration, pointing out that residents were already confessing the changes.

"This is because you have a government that is determined to make the needed changes," Wike said. "If the Tinubu government is not interested, it will be the same thing but because he is interested, he said this is not the kind of capital we should have; this is not the kind of city Nigeria should be boasting of."

He continued, "We need to transform Abuja to be like other cities in the world and he gave me a matching order to see that things are working. Yes, we cannot say we have completely changed Abuja but you can see the processes and the steps being taken to put Abuja where it is supposed to be."
