Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Barrister Nyesom Ezenwo Wike is the winner of the 2024 Quinquennial Award For Governance and Infrastructure, a rare recognition by the LEADERSHIP Group Limited.

The Quinquennial Award for Governance and Infrastructure is the inaugural award category of the prestigious LEADERSHIP Conferences and Awards. It recognises the quintessential blend of accountability and timely execution of people-oriented projects.

Wike, despite inheriting a capital city in decline, plagued by stagnation and unfulfilled potential, upon his appointment last year as FCT minister, has since inspired an urban renewal drive. Not fazed by the challenges, Wike embarked on a comprehensive assessment of ongoing projects in the FCT. He quickly identified funding shortages as a critical barrier to progress and initiated emergency meetings with contractors and stakeholders to address these issues.

His firm stance on ensuring that contracts are awarded only after securing financing has ushered in a new era of accountability and transparency in project execution. His legacy in the FCT, like the 8 years he spent as Rivers State governor, is marked by significant infrastructure development.

Wike and 25 other distinguished individuals and organisations who have made exceptional contributions to governance, business, social impact, and public service in Nigeria were nominated by the LEADERSHIP Newspapers’ Board of Editors after extensive deliberations at a meeting held in November 2024 at the company’s headquarters in Abuja.
