Federal Capital Territory FCT Minister, Nyesom Wike has asked Nigerians to be patient in the face of surging prices of goods, saying with the implementation of ongoing reforms by President Bola Tinubu, Nigerians would bear testimony to true changes before the end of the administration’s first tenure in 2027.
Speaking with journalists, he said; “If you say that people have said that they have not seen anything, so these people who are jubilating here, are they not part of the people? I have always said that when something is bad, and I know because of our impatience, I agree, we expect a miracle to just happen. Now, take for example, the price of goods is still surging. Now, look at this road. If there was no road, why would the price of goods not go high? By the time these roads are completed and the farmers are now going to farm, it will reduce.
“So these are part of the strategies. Infrastructure is basic to turning around any economy in any part of the world. If they don’t have basic infrastructure, too bad. That is part of the problems we have had in Abuja here, and we are trying to make sure that we create more infrastructure to open up, not just the city, also the rural areas, so that the economy will thrive. So that is what I can say.
