Ignore Critics, Focus on Transforming FCT, Tinubu Charges Wike
President Bola Tinubu has charged the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Nyesom Wike, to remain focused on his mandate to transform the nation’s capital, despite the presence of critics and naysayers.
The President’s remarks came during the inauguration of the newly refurbished International Conference Centre, Abuja, which has been renamed in his honor as the Bola Ahmed Tinubu International Conference Centre, Abuja.
Speaking on Tuesday, Tinubu emphasized the importance of Wike’s role in shaping the future of the FCT, urging him to ignore the distractions caused by “busybodies and bystanders.”
The President expressed confidence in Wike’s abilities, describing him as a “transformational leader” with the vision, foresight, and determination to succeed.
The refurbished conference centre is a testament to the Tinubu administration’s commitment to upgrading the nation’s infrastructure and promoting economic growth.
The President highlighted the significance of the project, stating that it reflects the administration’s “determined efforts to change the way we do things, to reflect us as people of quality, people of character, people of determination, people of great spirits, that’s what we are.”
Tinubu’s comments were seen as a vote of confidence in Wike’s leadership, as well as a reminder that the Minister’s focus should remain on delivering on the administration’s promises to the people of the FCT.
The President’s words are likely to be interpreted as a call to action for Wike to continue pushing forward with his plans for the FCT, despite any obstacles or criticisms he may face.
The International Conference Centre, Abuja, has undergone a major refurbishment and renovation, with the aim of making it a world-class facility for international conferences, meetings, and events.
The centre’s renovation is part of the Tinubu administration’s efforts to promote economic growth, create jobs, and enhance the nation’s reputation as a hub for international trade and commerce.
The refurbished centre features state-of-the-art facilities, including modern conference rooms, exhibition spaces, and amenities. The centre is expected to attract international events and conferences, which will have a positive impact on the local economy and create opportunities for businesses and entrepreneurs in the FCT.
Minister Wike has thanked President Tinubu for his comments, stating that he is committed to delivering on the administration’s promises to the people of the FCT. Wike emphasized that his focus remains on transforming the FCT into a world-class city, with modern infrastructure, amenities, and services.
“We are grateful for the President’s confidence in our abilities, and we will continue to work tirelessly to deliver on our mandate. We will not be distracted by critics or naysayers, but will remain focused on our goal of making the FCT a model for other states to follow,” Wike said.
The Minister’s response is seen as a commitment to the President’s vision for the FCT, and a pledge to continue working towards the administration’s goals for the territory. As the FCT continues to undergo transformation, the people of the territory are eagerly awaiting the impact of Wike’s policies and the benefits that the refurbished conference centre will bring to the local economy.
