President Bola Tinubu has commissioned the renovated International Conference Centre in Abuja, which underwent a comprehensive overhaul at a cost of N39 billion.
The commissioning ceremony took place shortly after the President returned from Lagos, where he had been celebrating the Eid al-Kabir festivities with family and well-wishers.
Democracy Day Preparations
President Tinubu's return to Abuja is reportedly connected to finalizing arrangements for the upcoming Democracy Day celebrations scheduled for June 12, 2025. The newly renovated conference centre is expected to play a significant role in hosting some of the events marking this important national occasion.
The Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, Nyesom Wike, was visibly delighted during the commissioning ceremony, with reports indicating he was seen dancing in celebration of the project's completion.
Strategic Infrastructure Investment
The N39 billion renovation of the International Conference Centre represents a significant investment in Nigeria's conference and events infrastructure. The facility is expected to enhance Abuja's capacity to host major international and national events, potentially boosting the capital's profile as a conference destination.
While specific details about the renovations were not immediately disclosed, the substantial investment suggests comprehensive upgrades to the facility's technology, comfort, and capacity.
The timing of the commissioning, just days before Democracy Day celebrations, highlights the administration's focus on showcasing infrastructure development as part of its governance achievements.
