When asked why some projects are not officially flagged off or inaugurated, Wike explained that the government focuses on the visibility and impact of projects when deciding which ones to spotlight.
He urged the media to support the administration by visiting project locations with relevant Mandate Secretaries to witness the progress being achieved in areas such as education and social development.
“I will not say here that every problem has been solved. All problems cannot be solved, even if this government stays for 20 years; no government can solve all problems.
“But the government is solving problems that at least will help to improve the lives of people.
“It’s not possible for us to commission every project.
“We take what we think are major, capital-intensive projects, ones where billions of naira have been spent, and showcase those. But when you’re talking about smaller projects, must we commission everything?
“We’re not saying we’ve done everything. But we are doing what will at least make a difference in the lives of the people, and that’s the whole point of governance,” he stated.
