The Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Mr. Nyesom Wike, said on Saturday that President Bola Tinubu has never interfered in the affairs of his office since he assumed office in August 2023.

At the inauguration of the Guzape Lot II project in Abuja, the nation’s capital, Wike said: “Since I assumed office on August 21, 2023, you have never one day interfered in my work.

“Never one day have you called me that this is what you want; you have never. Sometimes, I pretend I will come to you and say, ‘Are there people complaining?’ You will tell me, ‘Have I ever called you one day? So don’t bother yourself; go and do your job.

“I must say I and the Minister of State are sincerely happy that you gave us the free hand to work, and this is what we are seeing today.”

The minister pledged the FCT Administration’s commitment to complete the projects in Abuja’s diplomatic area in 2024, describing it as a preferred residential choice for most Nigerians.

In his remarks, the President commended Wike for fulfilling the Federal Government’s infrastructure renewal promises to the people of the FCT.
