President Bola Tinubu has asked the FCT Minister, Nyesom Wike, not to listen to busybodies and naysayers but to focus on his mandate to transform the nation’s capital.
The President said this on Tuesday when he commissioned the rehabilitated International Conference Centre, Abuja, which was renamed in his honour as the Bola Tinubu International Conference Centre, Abuja.
According to him, the rehabilitation of the International Conference Centre is part of his 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”.
“And I am glad, Nyesom Wike, you are reflecting that. Don’t pay attention to busybodies and the bystanders, and whatever they say. Continue with your good work.
“You are a transformational leader. You have the vision, foresight and determination to succeed,” he said.
Tinubu maintained that his administration was aware that modern infrastructure remained the backbone of economic prosperity.
The President noted that the rehabilitated conference centre is a reflection of Nigeria’s commitment to regional diplomacy, continental trade discussions and global partnerships.
He also informed his political friends, appointees and government officials that there won’t be free usage of the conference centre for social or corporate events
