President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has celebrated the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, Chief Nyesom Wike, on his 58th birthday today, December 13.

In a statement signed by his Special Adviser on Information and Strategy, Bayo Onanuga, Tinubu praised Wike’s performance in office and his contributions to national development.

Joining family, friends, and colleagues in honoring Wike, the President thanked God for “a life marked by service, purpose and courage.”

The President said Wike is “an audacious and result-oriented leader who consistently overcomes challenges to deliver impactful projects.”

He highlighted the Minister’s role in advancing infrastructure in the FCT, particularly resolving a 14-year delay in the construction of the Apo–Karshi Road, calling it “a significant milestone in improving connectivity within the nation’s capital.”

“Nyesom Wike has been one of the shining stars in the cabinet, an exceptional performer, developing infrastructure in the Federal Capital as never seen before and proving that his moniker as ‘Mr Project’ is not limited to his home state of Rivers,” Tinubu said.

He also praised Wike’s resilience, “can-do” attitude, and commitment to excellence, noting that he has distinguished himself as “one of the standout performers in the Federal Executive Council.”
