The Nation Newspaper Wike frowns over lobby to be appointed coordinator Satellite Town
Wike charged the newly inaugurated coordinator of the Satellite Towns Development Development , Abdulkadir Zulkiflu, to perform above expectation.
Wike said most people were often carried away by the appointed and failed to settle down to their assignments and urged the newly appointed coordinator, to see the appointment as being found worthy to contribute to national development under President Bola Tinubu. The minister said: “Most appointees are always carried away by the fact that they have been appointed, and so for them to settle down becomes a problem. See it as that Mr President finds you worthy to contribute at this point in time, to national development, particularly as regards the Federal Capital Territory Administration.“For this government, our priority is to make sure that all the satellite towns get the impact of the government.
“Mine is to do your work. If you do your work, everybody will see that you are doing your work. I don’t like praise singers. I do not like praise singers; your action will speak for itself. So now that FCT is seriously involved in the satellite towns, make sure that things are done very well.”
