President says upgraded landmark reflects Nigeria’s unity as Wike earns praise for transforming the Federal Capital Territory.
President Bola Tinubu has inaugurated the remodeled Abuja City Gate, describing the iconic structure as a symbol of Nigeria’s unity, diversity and shared aspirations.
Represented by First Lady Senator Oluremi Tinubu at the ceremony on Thursday, the President commended the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Nyesom Wike, for driving infrastructure development and transforming Abuja into a more modern capital city.
President Tinubu said the upgraded City Gate would strengthen Abuja’s status as Nigeria’s diplomatic and administrative capital while serving as a lasting symbol of national pride.
The remodeled monument, which features a water fountain representing Nigeria’s 36 states and the Federal Capital Territory, was inaugurated as part of activities marking the third anniversary of the President Tinubu administration and the 50th anniversary of the FCT.
