President Bola Ahmed Tinubu says the appointment of Nyesom Wike as the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) was one of the best appointments of his administration.

Tinubu disclosed this in Abuja on Wednesday, June 5 during the commissioning of the
extension of the Inner Southern Expressway (ISEX) and the Outer Southern Expressway (OSEX) to the south of parkway.

But on Wednesday, the president, who was represented by Vice President Kashim Shettima, commended Wike for his commitment to his vision for a modern, prosperous, and inclusive federal capital, The Cable reported.

“As we celebrate this achievement, it is crucial once again to acknowledge the concerted efforts of the FCT minister, chief barrister Ezenwo Nyesom Wike and his team, and all stakeholders involved, including private sector partners,” he said.

“The whole political space is populated by careful friends. But now he has stopped dancing, he has stopped singing, but he is still performing.”

On the commissioned project, Tinubu said the expressway symbolises connectivity that would bridge the gap between urban and rural areas, Vanguard reported.
