The minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Nyesom Wike, has caught Nigerians talking when he promised to increase the pay of the official music band during the commissioning ceremony of a road in Abuja on Thursday, June 20.
Wike made the lighthearted comment at the inauguration of the collector road, which has just been completed. The road linked the Mabushio to the Judges' Quarters in Katampe. The project was executed by a Chinese construction company.

During the progress of the event, the band's leader surprised the audience with a comic performance when he mimicked a tone which sounded like speaking in Chinese. The gesture was a playful nod to the nationality of the contractor.
Wike, who was obviously amused and impressed, then responded that “now that my band can sing in the Chinese language, I’ll now increase their fees.” His response prompted cheers and laughter from the crowd.
The band quickly seized the moment and launched into another catchy chorus, saying "agreement is agreement," and ended it with another Chinese-like phrase that delighted the audience.
Some Nigerians have taken to the comment section of the trending video and expressed their view about the development. Below are some of their reactions:
