The Dennis Aikoriogie Foundation has taken its philanthropic mission to a significant symbolic level by reaching out to the community of His Excellency, Nyesom Ezenwo Wike, in a show of admiration for his exceptional service as Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT).
This initiative is not just about charity, it is a gesture of deep respect and recognition of leadership that has made a visible difference.
Since assuming office less than two years ago, Minister Wike has transformed the FCT into a model capital city through bold reforms, strategic infrastructure development, and effective governance.
His hands-on approach, visionary planning, and commitment to urban renewal have elevated Abuja’s standing among capital cities in Africa. Roads have been rehabilitated, public spaces redefined, and long-standing administrative bottlenecks resolved with urgency and precision.
In acknowledging these strides, the Dennis Aikoriogie Foundation is also using this platform to highlight a personal connection. Dr Dennis Osahon Aikoriogie, the founder of the Foundation, emphasised that this outreach is an expression of gratitude for the Minister’s fatherly guidance and strategic mentorship, especially during the last Edo State governorship election.
According to Dr Aikoriogie, Minister Wike played a quiet but pivotal role in providing moral support, political clarity, and encouragement at a crucial time.
Describing Wike as a truly detribalised Nigerian, Dr Aikoriogie commended his consistent focus on competence and impact rather than ethnic or party affiliation.
“He is a political leader who supports the right people for the right reasons,” he stated.
“His brand of politics is progressive, people-focused, and devoid of personal aggrandizement. He identifies excellence and backs it regardless of origin, faith, or political alignment.”
The Foundation views Minister Wike’s leadership style as a refreshing example of positive politics in action, one that seeks national unity, prioritises development, and uplifts others across all divides. His ability to maintain relationships, mentor emerging leaders, and build bridges beyond political boundaries has not gone unnoticed.
Through this gesture, the Dennis Aikoriogie Foundation not only celebrates the Minister’s achievements but also reinforces the importance of acknowledging those who quietly shape the nation’s future through vision, courage, and selfless service.
As part of its broader mission, the Foundation will continue to support community-focused initiatives and encourage public leaders who prioritise good governance, mentorship, and unity across Nigeria.-44807″ />
