He stated this while speaking to newsmen at his home in Alor, Idemili South Local Government Area during the distribution of palliatives to APC members, persons with disabilities and the aged.

On Saturday, January 6, The Punch reported. “It is not true that the Buhari administration was a failure. I was part of the government and the administration completed a lot of projects including the Second Niger Bridge, school feeding programme and numerous railways across the country.

Meanwhile, Legit.ng reported that Ngige revealed one major task President Bola Ahmed Tinubu must embark on when he assumes office.

He said Tinubu should start discussions on a review of the minimum wage currently obtainable in Nigeria.

The minister said Tinubu's government should come up with a new minimum wage higher than the current N30,000.
