The Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, FCT), Nyesom Wike, on Thursday stated that the Bola Ahmed Tinubu International Conference Centre has been fully booked until 2027.
Upon assuming office as minister, Wike renovated the
facility at the cost of N39 billion and renamed it the Ahmed Bola Tinubu
Conference Centre.
On June 10, 2025, Tinubu inaugurated the newly renovated
International Centre to commemorate his second anniversary in office. The
inauguration of the project attracted widespread criticism from Nigerians.
Acknowledging the backlash, the minister disclosed that he
is currently attempting to adjust the facility’s bookings to accommodate the
House of Representatives Committee on Constitution Review.
Speaking during the commissioning of the Kugbo Bus Terminal
in Abuja, Wike noted that the committee had submitted a booking request among
many others.
He said: “You know, Nigerians pretend. They like good things,
but they will pretend as if they don’t. That Conference Centre has been booked
now till 2027, no space.
“In fact, I saw an application by the Deputy Speaker, on
Constitutional Amendment. There’s no space, no day.
“I’m trying to adjust if he can pay on time. Because it’s
not free. There’s nothing like it’s the National Assembly. You have to pay
something for us to sustain the facility.”
