The Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, Nyesom Wike, has inaugurated a pedestrian bridge constructed by Dunamis International Gospel Centre in Abuja.\n<\/p>\n
Wike spoke at the inauguration ceremony on Friday, where he acknowledged the church\u2019s efforts to secure government approval for the project.\n<\/p>\n
He said Dunamis applied for approval in 2018 but did not receive it until February 2026, when the church sent a reminder about its application.\n<\/p>\n
According to the minister, the approval was granted within a month of the reminder.<\/p>\n
\u201cYou applied for approval to build this pedestrian bridge in 2018. It was in February 2026 when you sent a reminder about the application you made in 2018. It didn\u2019t take you more than a month after that reminder, and you got the approval,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
Wike urged Nigerians to acknowledge government efforts when they deliver on their responsibilities, while also holding them accountable when they fall short. <\/p>\n
\u201cIf a government does well, say they\u2019ve done well. If they\u2019ve not done well, you can say we\u2019re looking forward to you doing this,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n
The church\u2019s founder, Pastor Paul Enenche, thanked Wike for granting the approval, saying the church had tried unsuccessfully for six years to obtain permission to construct the bridge.\n<\/p>\n
Enenche said the approval was eventually granted in 2026, expressing appreciation to the FCT minister.\n<\/p>\n
The inauguration was also marked by an exchange between Wike and Enenche after the minister said he had been asked by the pastor not to campaign at the event.\n<\/p>\n
Wike, however, argued that discussing governance was part of politics, adding that Enenche also spoke about bad governance during church sermons.\n<\/p>\n
