Wike unveils pedestrian bridge built by Abuja church

Federal Capital Territory Minister Nyesom Wike inaugurated a pedestrian bridge built by the Dunamis International Gospel Centre in Abuja. At the inauguration ceremony on Friday, Wike praised the church for its efforts in obtaining government approval for the project. He explained that the church applied for approval in 2018 but did not receive it until February 2026, after sending a reminder about its application.

Wike noted that the approval was granted within a month of the reminder. He urged Nigerians to appreciate government efforts when they deliver on responsibilities and hold them accountable when they fall short. The church's founder, Pastor Paul Enenche, thanked Wike for granting the approval, mentioning that the church had tried unsuccessfully for six years to obtain permission.

The inauguration also saw a brief exchange between Wike and Enenche, with Wike asserting that discussing governance is part of politics, a point that Enenche acknowledged from his position as a pastor.
