President Bola Tinubu on Thursday said he appointed Nyesom Wike as Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) because of his proven capacity to deliver projects and infrastructure.
Tinubu made the remarks during the commissioning of the newly completed Federal Highway 105, which links the Airport Expressway to Kuje Township in Abuja.
The President, represented at the event by Vice President Kashim Shettima, noted that the ceremony was part of activities marking his third year in office.

According to him, the challenges surrounding the project influenced his decision to appoint Wike as FCT Minister, describing him as a “proven performer capable of delivering results.”
“Where there was delay, we brought political will.
