In his address, the President reassured Nigerians of his administration’s commitment to prioritizing their welfare and making it the centerpiece of his national development agenda.
He stated, "The best way to achieve greatness is to look forward, aspire for great results, and not be hindered by obstacles. We must see opportunities in obstacles and seize them."
President Tinubu highlighted ongoing investments in essential services such as water supply, electricity, and road networks, emphasizing that his administration has laid the groundwork for economic growth, social progress, and improved quality of life for residents of the Federal Capital Territory.
He also mentioned that the completion of the Wuye project would significantly improve traffic flow within and around the district, enhancing the security and central focus of development efforts, which is the essence of democracy.

In his remarks, Wike expressed gratitude for the President's significant support, highlighting the 15-year struggle to complete the bridge and the difficulties faced by people and businesses during this period. He credited the President's determination for restoring hope with the project's completion.
Wike also emphasized that the wide array of projects being inaugurated in the FCT during President Tinubu’s first anniversary would not have been possible without the exclusion of the FCT from the Treasury Single Account (TSA), expressing sincere gratitude for the approval.
