Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Barr. Nyesom Wike, has announced the completion of the long-overdue renovation of the International Conference Centre (ICC), Abuja, describing it as a major milestone in preparations to mark President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s second anniversary in office.
Speaking during a media chat on Monday in Abuja, Wike said the facility, which had deteriorated into what he called an “eyesore,” has now been fully restored and placed under a comprehensive maintenance contract with construction giant, Julius Berger.
He further disclosed that the ICC will now operate as a fully commercialized asset, with its maintenance funded solely through revenue generated from its operations.
“The ICC was in terrible condition before now, but today, we are proud of the transformation. A maintenance contract with Julius Berger is in place, and the facility will be managed with its internally generated revenue,” the Minister stated.
Wike noted that the revamped ICC is among several flagship infrastructure projects scheduled for commissioning as part of activities to celebrate President Tinubu’s two-year milestone in office.
