Economic hardship in Nigeria temporary, positive results ahead, says Wike

The Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Nyesom Wike, has assured Nigerians that the ongoing economic hardship in the country is temporary, with positive results expected soon.
During the launch of the resurfacing of 189 roads in the Maitama District, Garki, and Utako on Tuesday, Wike acknowledged the challenges faced by citizens.
He emphasized that the complexities of changing the economy involve temporary setbacks but assured that these difficulties are part of a larger strategy for positive transformation.
“To change the economy is not by mouth. So, many things will go wrong, but in going wrong, it will get right. The wrong is the effect on you temporarily,” Wike said.

Encouraging patience and understanding among the populace, Wike urged Nigerians not to focus solely on the current challenges but to anticipate positive outcomes resulting from the economic policies of the Bola Tinubu administration.
“What the President is doing today will yield positive results soon. We may be having some inconveniences, we agree. But be patient. You will see the turnaround of things. I will never support what will not work,” he stated.
Wike called for a balanced perspective, advocating for discussions that acknowledge government policies’ challenges and positive aspects.
Additionally, he warned that contracts of underperforming contractors would be revoked in the FCT.
