Federal Capital Territory (FCT) Minister, Nyesom Wike, has urged Friends and well-wishers to stop the bill boards congratulatory messages over his appointment as FCT Minister.
This was noted in a statement titled, ‘Request to members of the public to refrain from placing congratulatory billboards in honour of the FCT Minister’, signed by his Director of Press, Anthony Ogunleye, he stated that all the Congratulatory Messages on bill boards constitute distractions.
The statement read in part, “while the minister deeply appreciates the warm wishes and support of the citizens, he kindly, but strongly, requests that such billboards and advertisements be discontinued forthwith.
“The minister acknowledges the overwhelming outpouring of goodwill from FCT residents and beyond, understands the sentiment behind the congratulatory displays and is genuinely touched by the show of support.
“However, in the spirit of public service and commitment to his responsibilities, the minister wishes to focus fully on assisting President Bola Tinubu, in realising his Renewed Hope agenda for Nigeria.”
Meanwhile, the FCT Youth Stakeholders Forum has urged the Wike to take education and security in FCT seriously.
