FCT projects: Wike is Mr Fix-it, I knew he wouldn’t sleep – Tinubu

President Bola Tinubu on Monday described the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, Nyesom Wike as “Mr fix it” following his accomplishments in the capital city.

Tinubu made the remark while noting that he was aware that Wike will not “sleep” when he appointed him as the Minister of the FCT.

He spoke during the commissioning of the newly constructed Court of Appeal, Abuja Division, Building to mark his third anniversary.

Tinubu was represented at the commissioning by Vice President Kashim Shettima

He said: “It’s with great pride that I stand here in Dakibiu to commission the Court of Appeal, Abuja Division, complex.

“This is not just a build, it’s a statement, a statement that under the renewed hope agenda,, the rule of law will have a befitting home.

“My lords, for too long the Abuja division of this court operated from a cramped temporary space and that was unacceptable. A nation that seeks justice must respect the temple of justice.

“When I visited and saw the condition, I gave a simple directive ‘fix it’ and today we have fixed it.’

“Let me specially commend the Minister of the FCT, Nyesom Wike for fully being Mr Project and Mr fix it.

“When I appointed you as the Minister of the FCT, I knew you would not sleep. You took your assignment to deliver this project in May 2024 and by July contractors were on site and you promised 16 months and you delivered in record time with no excuses, no variation, and you delivered in record time. Nigerians can see the difference, well done Wike.”
