The Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, FCT, Nyesom Wike, on Wednesday disclosed how he gave one of his coordinators trouble during the construction phase of some roads.

Wike disclosed that he gave the coordinator sleepless nights during the construction of the roads.

He disclosed this during the commissioning of the dualized and upgraded Ushafa to War College/Army Check Point Roads and other Ancillary Roads in Bwari Area Council.

According to Wike: “Mr President the Coordinator of STP is a young man and i pity him, I have never allowed him to sleep one day, never. I said you cannot be nominated to hold a position like this, it’s not to come and carry ‘chop’ you must work, so you must make sacrifices so that those who recommended you will not be disappointed.

“Mr President, I can tell you today that this young man has not disappointed anybody. I hardly talk about people. When you hear me say that somebody is doing well, it means that the person is doing well.

“There are people you give position and they think that it’s just for publicity, there are people you give position and they take it as an opportunity to express themselves that they have the capacity to work.

“It’s not that I’m the coordinator, it’s not that i’m the Mandate Secretary, this young man has shown that he has capacity and trust me he will deliver. I want to commend him for the good, he’s done well and that is what i have always told people that it’s not written on anybody’s face – who will do well is not written on their face – it’s when you have the opportunity and you show it that you have capacity.

“I gave him problems. I don’t know whether he has a wife because if he has, I will be pitying the wife, the man will not be happy. So, if he has a wife, I want to apologize that i gave your husband so much trouble, so much sleepless nights but it’s a good one.

“You have shown the people of FCT that you mean well for them and your support is enormous, you as the Vice President, you have always encouraged me and given me support to do my work.”

The average Nigerian market is a theatre of colours, scents, and voices. From the lively banter of traders to the glittering rows of bottles and sachets jostling for attention, every corner promises something new. In this daily spectacle of choice, cooking oil remains one of the most contested categories. Shoppers, armed with shopping lists and personal preferences, pause before aisles filled with promises of purity, affordability, and health. Still, among all the noise and choices, one brand has steadily become a trusted fixture in Nigerian homes: Golden Terra Oil.

Made from 100% Pure Soya Oil, Golden Terra Oil is steadily winning hearts not by shouting the loudest, but by delivering on what matters most to Nigerian families: health, taste, and trust. In a time where rising health concerns like hypertension and high cholesterol are reshaping conversations about what we eat, more Nigerians are making the conscious shift towards oils with proven nutritional benefits.

Rich in Polyunsaturated Fatty Acids (PUFA) known for lowering bad cholesterol and supporting heart health, Golden Terra Oil is one of the few everyday cooking staples backed by nutritional science and loved for preserving the original flavours of Nigerian dishes. Alongside PUFA, it boasts essential nutrients like MUFA and Vitamin E, ensuring that health-conscious eating never has to come at the cost of culinary tradition.

But perhaps what sets Golden Terra Oil apart is its approach beyond the shelf. It’s not just a brand selling oil but feeding knowledge. Through ongoing consumer education campaigns from nutrition facts across media platforms to heart-health conversations, the brand consistently provides consumers with relevant information to make smarter, informed choices about their meals and wellbeing.

This philosophy was beautifully captured in its widely celebrated “Pour Pure Love” campaign, a storytelling-driven initiative that highlighted how food, in Nigerian culture, is one of the simplest, purest expressions of love. The campaign, which resonated deeply both online and offline, reminded Nigerians that every pour into a sizzling pan carries with it the warmth of home, health, and care.

According to Probal Bhattacharya, Chief Marketing Officer, TGI Group, “It’s been incredibly rewarding to see how Nigerians have connected with not just our products, but the values behind them. The positive feedback from rising sales to the heartfelt response to our campaigns reminds us why we do what we do. More than ever, people are making informed, health-driven choices, and we’re proud to be part of that journey. At TGI Group, we’ll keep raising the bar, delivering quality, and educating our consumers because they deserve nothing less.”
