The minister emphasized the importance of accountability in governance, stressing that elected officials must fulfill their promises to the people.

“I have said before that politics is a covenant between those that are elected and those that elected them.
“I have said that people should hold those that they have elected accountable; those who have been appointed should be held accountable,” Wike said.
He added that President Bola Tinubu’s administration was committed to delivering on its campaign promises and improving the lives of Nigerians. .
“When we came on board, I did say that under Tinubu’s administration, when he makes a promise, all you need to do is be patient; that promise would be fulfilled,” Wike said.
He noted that Tinubu’s directive to empower indigenous contractors with proven capacity is a significant boost to the local economy.
“It is also part of Tinubu’s directive to empower indigenous contractors who have shown capacity and are willing to work. I am happy with what I have seen today in terms of equipment,” the minister said.
During the inauguration of the War College/Army Checkpoint Road upgrade, Wike assured that Abuja will undergo significant transformation by 2027.
Wike highlighted the administration’s commitment to infrastructure development, citing 15 ongoing projects in area councils and three additional projects slated for satellite towns.
