The Minister of the FCT, Nyesom Wike on Monday, said the completion of the Abuja light rail was a promise fulfilled.
He stated this when during a final lap of inspection of facilities at the Abuja light rail project, preparatory to President Tinubu’s flag off of commercial activities to mark his one year in office.
Recall that Wike, in an earlier inspection of the rail project observed that some minor adjustments needed to be effected.
Wike after the inspection, said, “We are good to go, for the president, it’s 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.”
Though he protested that he shouldn’t rate himself when asked about Tinubu’s performance in one year. He said one year is too short for any meaningful contribution but he narrated the achievements do far:
“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 areas 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 Nigerian.”
“With the dressed rehearsal on Monday, all is set and prepared for Mr. President to take a ride in the Abuja light rail”.
