The Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Nyesom Wike, on Wednesday shared how he put pressure on one of his coordinators throughout the road construction process.

Wike revealed that the coordinator experienced sleepless nights due to the intense oversight and demands made during the project.

He made this statement at the inauguration of the newly dualized and upgraded Ushafa to War College/Army Checkpoint Roads, along with other adjoining roads in the Bwari Area Council.

According to Wike: “Mr President the Coordinator of STP is a young man and i pity him, I have never allowed him to sleep one day, never. I said you cannot be nominated to hold a position like this, it’s not to come and carry ‘chop’ you must work, so you must make sacrifices so that those who recommended you will not be disappointed.

“Mr President, I can tell you today that this young man has not disappointed anybody. I hardly talk about people. When you hear me say that somebody is doing well, it means that the person is doing well.

“There are people you give position and they think that it’s just for publicity, there are people you give position and they take it as an opportunity to express themselves that they have the capacity to work.

“It’s not that I’m the coordinator, it’s not that i’m the Mandate Secretary, this young man has shown that he has capacity and trust me he will deliver. I want to commend him for the good, he’s done well and that is what i have always told people that it’s not written on anybody’s face – who will do well is not written on their face – it’s when you have the opportunity and you show it that you have capacity.

“I gave him problems. I don’t know whether he has a wife because if he has, I will be pitying the wife, the man will not be happy. So, if he has a wife, I want to apologize that i gave your husband so much trouble, so much sleepless nights but it’s a good one.

“You have shown the people of FCT that you mean well for them and your support is enormous, you as the Vice President, you have always encouraged me and given me support to do my work.”
