The Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, Nyesom Wike, has embarked on a vacation after spending over 30 days commissioning projects, flagging off new ones and inspecting ongoing projects across the Federal Capital Territory.

The minister’s Senior Special Assistant on Public Communications and social media, Lere Olayinka, disclosed this in a post on X on Monday.

According to Olayinka, Wike used the period to inspect and review several projects across the FCT, particularly those scheduled for commissioning in December and January next year.

“Holiday time for Nyerisi. He is somewhere in the world, relaxing after spending over 30 days, commissioning projects, flagging off new ones and inspecting ongoing ones, especially those scheduled for commissioning in December and January, next year,” Olayinka wrote.

The minister has in recent weeks been involved in a series of project commissioning and inspection activities across Abuja as the FCT Administration intensifies efforts to complete ongoing infrastructure projects.

Olayinka said the minister had now taken time off to relax after the extended period of official engagements.

Wike, a former governor of Rivers State, was appointed Minister of the FCT by President Bola Tinubu in August 2023.

Since assuming office, he has prioritised road construction, rehabilitation of existing infrastructure, expansion of public facilities and the development of satellite towns within the FCT.

The latest vacation comes as the FCT Administration continues work on projects expected to be commissioned in the coming months.
