Wike is a Hard-nosed Businessman and a Deep Thinker
President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has described the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, Nyesom Wike, as a “hard-nosed businessman” and a “deep thinker,” commending his role in attracting major investment into Abuja.
Tinubu made the remarks on Tuesday during the formal signing of a partnership agreement between retail firms HyperCity and Carrefour, held at the Transcorp Hilton in Abuja. The president was represented at the event by his Chief of Staff, Femi Gbajabiamila.
According to Tinubu, Wike is meticulous in his approach to business and governance, noting that he does not engage in partnerships casually. He added that individuals who have sought approvals or permits in the Federal Capital Territory can attest to the minister’s thorough and disciplined style.
The president praised Wike for helping to facilitate the collaboration between HyperCity and Carrefour, describing it as a significant development that could reshape Nigeria’s retail landscape. He also commended the minister’s efforts in transforming Abuja’s infrastructure and investment climate, saying the deal is another achievement to his credit.
The partnership between the two retail companies is expected to combine Carrefour’s global brand strength with HyperCity’s local presence, boosting modern retail expansion in Nigeria.
