President Bola Tinubu has praised Federal Capital Territory (FCT) Minister Nyesom Wike as he celebrates his 58th birthday, commending him as a “top performer” and a dedicated public servant.
In a statement issued by the President’s Special Adviser on Information and Strategy, Bayo Onanuga, on Saturday, Tinubu described Wike as resilient, purposeful, and courageous, highlighting his significant contributions to the transformation of the FCT.
The President specifically acknowledged Wike’s role in breaking a 14-year deadlock in the construction of the Apo–Karshi Road.
“Nyesom Wike has been one of the shining stars in the cabinet, an exceptional performer, developing infrastructure in the Federal Capital like never before and proving that his ‘Mr. Project’ moniker extends beyond his home state of Rivers,” Tinubu said.
He further praised Wike’s “can-do attitude” and consistency in delivering impactful projects, noting that Wike’s efforts align with the administration’s Renewed Hope Agenda despite belonging to another political party.
President Tinubu wished Wike continued strength, good health, and greater accomplishments as he continues to serve the nation in his role as FCT Minister.
