President Tinubu during the commissioning said: “Rather than dwell on past shortcomings, we have chosen to seize this opportunity to demonstrate our resolve to confront obstacles head-on and deliver on the promises made to the Nigerian people in line with our Renewed Hope Agenda, which has the completion of inherited projects as one of its cardinal objectives.”

The President added that the construction of the Vice President’s residence was not just about building a physical structure but about laying the foundation for a more efficient and effective government.

The President stressed that the completion of the VP’s residence project, which commenced in 2010, was in line with his Renewed Hope Agenda, which leans favourably towards the completion of uncompleted projects for the benefit of all Nigerians.

He said: “I hold a very strong opinion that abandoning projects after substantial expenditures have been incurred is inherently wasteful, and it is in the best interest of the government and the public to see them through to completion.

“I, therefore, want to express my gratitude to the FCT Administration, under the leadership of Chief (Barrister) Ezenwo Nyesom Wike, for taking up the responsibility and feel duty-bound to complete the project to avoid the wastage of taxpayers’ money.

“The decision to complete this project after going through the required due process is highly commendable. Your dedication, professionalism, and unwavering commitment to excellence are a testament to the resilience and spirit of the Nigerian people.”
