Nyesom Wike, Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), has stated that one of Nigeria’s challenges is a lack of strong leadership.
The minister mentioned this while pointing out that a law establishing a civil service commission for the FCT had been passed but had yet to be implemented.
During a press conference on Friday, Wike stated that he brought the law to Tinubu’s attention and that he supported its implementation.

He bemoaned the fact that so many individuals in positions of power are unwilling to take action.
He said: “One of the problems in this country is leadership, so many people don’t want to take action. There is no action that you take that everybody will be happy.
“In 2018, the National Assembly passed a bill into law which was assented to by the former Vice-President Osinbajo when he was acting as the president. [The law says] FCT should have a civil service commission. Everybody has been running away.
“Nobody wants to [implement it]. Nobody has the political will to implement it. Everybody is saying ‘it will reduce my power’. No. It is about the institution.
Nigeria’s Biggest Difficulty Is Its Poor Choice Of Leaders, Says Obi
“The minister will come and go, so also the head of service will come and go. If the National Assembly passes a bill into law which is assented to by Mr President, what is wrong in implementing that law?”
