The newly rehabilitated Bola Tinubu International Conference Centre, Abuja, has generated more than N700 million in three weeks.
The Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Mr Nyesom Wike, disclosed this on Sunday during a Thanksgiving Service at St. James’ Anglican Church, Asokoro, Abuja.
Wike revealed that the person managing the centre before the rehabilitation was remitting only N50 million to the FCT Administration annually.
He recalled that there was a public uproar when he announced that N39 billion was earmarked for the rehabilitation to upgrade the centre to international standard.
The minister added that the move was finally paying off.
Wike explained that the thanksgiving service was necessary to thank God for the successful inauguration of 17 projects in 16 days by President Tinubu celebrating his second year in office.
