For me, I cannot give nothing less,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>The minister said that Tinubu had insisted that Nigeria deserved the best \u201cand we will do everything we can to make sure we give them the best.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYou can see the infrastructure in terms of roads. It is unimaginable and we will continue to do that.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>He, however, called on residents of the FCT to also perform their obligation and support the administration for the interest of Abuja and the entire Nigerians.<\/p>\n<p><strong>For More News And Analysis About <span style=\"color: #ff6600\">Nigeria<\/span> Follow <span style=\"color: #ff6600\">Africa-Press<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Africa-Press &#8211; Nigeria.
