In a recent YouTube video posted by TVC News, Nigeria's President Bola Tinubu shared a revealing account of a discussion with Federal Capital Territory (FCT) Minister, Nyesom Wike. President Tinubu described their initial interaction, during which Minister Wike made a notable request for the president to clear his calendar for nine days to address several urgent matters. The aim was to provide ample time for thorough discussions and resolutions concerning the FCT. However, President Tinubu expressed some hesitation about dedicating such an extended period to the matter.
President Tinubu advised Minister Wike to reconsider his request, highlighting the importance of optimizing the president’s schedule. He stressed that any adjustments to the president's timetable must be carefully evaluated to align with effective governance principles. Tinubu emphasized the need to use his time as productively as possible, ensuring that each engagement is purposeful and adheres to the ethics of governance.
Reflecting on their conversation, President Tinubu recounted, "When we started, the FCT Minister (Nyesom Wike) came to me to please look at the possibility of clearing my calendar for nine days. I asked him to go back and restudy the best way to spend the president's time so that it will not violate the ethics and proponents of governance."
This exchange underscores President Tinubu's commitment to maintaining a structured and principled approach to governance. By requesting Minister Wike to reassess his proposal, Tinubu demonstrated his dedication to ensuring that presidential duties are conducted efficiently and ethically. His insistence on not violating governance ethics highlights his focus on upholding high standards and ensuring that the president's time is devoted to activities that positively impact the nation's administration. This approach reflects a dedication to effective leadership and a commitment to making the most of the president's time for the benefit of the country.
