The Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, Nyesom Wike, has stated that while it is erroneous to believe that any government can solve every problem facing a nation, the President Bola Tinubu administration is leaving no stone unturned to improve the lives of Nigerians.

Speaking at a media parley in Abuja on Monday, the former River State Governor addressed concerns about project commissioning and the scope of ongoing development efforts within the FCT.

“I will not say here that every problem has been solved. All problems cannot be solved, even if this government stays for 20 years; no government can solve all problems. “But government is solving problems that will at least help to improve the lives of people,” he said. Wike explained that the government does not formally flag off or commission some projects because it prioritises visibility and impact when selecting which ones to highlight.
He said, “It is not possible to commission every project., “We take what we think are major, capital-intensive projects, ones where billions of naira have been spent, and showcase those. But when you’re talking about smaller projects, must we commission everything?”

Wike urged the media to work with the administration by visiting project sites with the relevant Mandate Secretaries to observe the progress being made in areas such as education and social development.

“We’re not saying we’ve done everything. But we are doing what will at least make a difference in the lives of the people, and that’s the whole point of governance
“You must appreciate when a government has done well. You don’t need to like the person in charge,” he stated.
