Nyesom Wike, the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), formally assigned the responsibility of hastening Abuja’s infrastructure revolution to on Monday, October 6, 2025. the residents of the city’s shoulders, connecting the caliber of ongoing development to their adherence to tax payments.

The minister spoke at the flag off of the building of the Mohammed Isa Road Extension in the Asokoro District, and he made it clear that, despite the fact that his government is dedicated to affecting every industry, from transportation and roads to sports and education; however, the timing and quality of delivery are contingent upon the availability of funds.

Wike compared high-quality infrastructure to a rich soup in his analogy, which was captured in a video clip released by his Media Aide, Lere Olayinka.

Without those resources, the soup will be thin, unappealing, and look like plain water, he claimed.

When preparing soup, if you don’t have the funds to purchase the different ingredients, such as fish, meat, and big stockfish, it will seem like simple water. However, even if you are not hungry, you will be compelled to be hungry if you have the funds for all of these items since the soup will cause you to be hungry. entices you even if you’ve eaten it ten times.

This was an obvious allusion to the considerable arrears of ground rents and other legal obligations.

The Minister’s appeal for on-time payment is supported by his firm stand on revenue generation.
