He said such congratulatory messages in lamp post billboards, full scale billboards and other such adverts congratulating him on his appointment as Minister constitute serious distractions capable of make him to lose focus on his main assignment in the FCT.
In a statement tagged “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, it was pointed out that “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”
Wike said he holds in high regard, the aspirations and expectations of the FCT residents, adding that he remains dedicated to fulfilling his role with utmost sincerity and dedication.
He said he believes that this can be best achieved by concentrating all efforts on the task at hand and joining hands with fellow public servants to serve the country to the best of their abilities.
