THE Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Nyesom Wike, says the government at all levels needs to make money to provide social services to Nigerians.
Wike spoke on Wednesday in Abuja at the maiden edition of the Abuja Business and Investment Summit organised by the Abuja Investment Company Limited.
The former Rivers State governor said the theme of the event, ‘Optimising Investment Through Partnerships’, resonates with the Federal Government’s drive to deploy the power of collaboration to foster investment opportunities.
The FCT minister said the notion that the government does not need money was incorrect. Citing examples of the government’s partnership with the private sector that went sour, Wike said the government won’t continue to commit billions of naira and land to investors who can’t guarantee a return on investment.
