The Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, Nyesom Wike, has said that while President Bola Tinubu’s administration cannot solve every challenge facing the nation’s capital, it is making deliberate efforts to enhance the living standards of residents.
Speaking during a media parley in Abuja on Monday, Wike stressed that no government could completely resolve all societal problems, even with decades in power.
Wike said, “I will not say here that every problem has been solved. All problems cannot be solved, even if this government stays for 20 years; no government can solve all problems.
“But government is solving problems that at least will help to improve the lives of people.”
Responding to concerns about why some projects in the FCT are not being formally flagged off or commissioned, Wike explained that the administration focuses on major, capital-intensive projects when choosing which to showcase.
He said, “It’s not possible for us to commission every project.
“We take what we think are major, capital-intensive projects, ones where billions of naira have been spent, and showcase those. But when you’re talking about smaller projects, must we commission everything?”
Wike urged the media to collaborate with his administration by visiting project sites alongside Mandate Secretaries to independently assess the progress being made in various sectors, including education and social development.
“We’re not saying we’ve done everything. But we are doing what will at least make a difference in the lives of the people, and that’s the whole point of governance,” he stated.
