Rep: Wike’s bold initiatives transforming Abuja into modern city

Muktar Betara, a member of the house of representatives, says Nyesom Wike, minister of the federal capital territory (FCT), is transforming the nation’s capital into a modern city.

In a statement issued on Tuesday, Betara, who chairs the house committee on FCT, said the minister of the year award conferred on Wike by THISDAY is a “testament” to his dedication to revamping the capital city.

The lawmaker, who represents Biu/Bayo/Shani and Kwaya Kusar federal constituency of Borno, said the award is a “well-deserved recognition”.

“This prestigious honour is a testament to your visionary leadership, tireless dedication, and exceptional contributions to the infrastructural transformation of the Federal Capital Territory,” the statement reads.

“Your unwavering commitment to service and your determination to improve the lives of residents and visitors alike has been nothing short of exemplary.

“Through your bold initiatives and strategic policies, you have not only enhanced the aesthetics and functionality of Abuja but have also reaffirmed the FCT’s position as a beacon of progress and modernity in Nigeria.”

Betara said the recognition reflects the minister’s positive impact and the widespread admiration he has garnered across various sectors.

“I celebrate this outstanding achievement with you and express my gratitude for your leadership and passion for development,” he said.

“May this milestone serve as an inspiration for even greater accomplishments as you continue to serve with integrity and purpose.”
