Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, Nyesom Wike, has promised to increase the fee of his musical band after they impressed him by singing in Chinese.
This was revealed in a video shared on X (formerly Twitter), where Wike could be heard announcing the decision during an event while hosting Chinese nationals.
"Now that my band can sing in Chinese language, I'll now increase their fees," the minister said, drawing laughter and applause from the crowd.
Shortly after his statement, the band broke into a song with the lyrics "Agreement is agreement," repeatedly calling Wike's name and ending with the phrase "Chi hu chan."
The lighthearted moment has since gone viral, sparking reactions from Nigerians online who filled the comment section with a mix of amusement and opinions.
