President commends Wike as he Inaugurates remodeled Abuja City Gate

The skyline of Nigeria’s Federal Capital Territory, Abuja now wears a new look typifying the spirit of the nation’s unity in diversity.

This is following the inauguration of the remodeled Abuja City Gate by President Bola Ahmed Tinubu.

The President who was represented by Nigeria’s First Lady Senator Oluremi Tinubu called on Abuja residents to protect and preserve the landmark public infrastructure.

President Bola Ahmed Tinubu underscored the importance of any City Gate worldwide.

“When we look at a nation’s capital, it represents the heart of its people. Abuja is Nigeria’s diplomatic and administrative centre, where all thirty-six states meet. Therefore, her city gate is one of the major first impressions of this city, that welcomes visitors, reflects the character of our people, and communicates the pride our nation takes in its capital”.

“This newly remodeled Abuja city gate, with its beautiful water fountain representing the 36 States and the Federal Capital Territory, tells every visitor and Nigerians arriving from the airport that they have entered a city built on unity, diversity, and shared aspirations. This city gate can proudly stand side by side with notable gateways and public monuments in many cities around the world”.

The President through Nigeria’s First Lady Senator Oluremi Tinubu said the remodelled City Gate is a towering monument to Nigeria’s unity in diversity commemorating the 3rd anniversary of his administration and the 50th anniversary of the Federal Capital Territory.

Appreciating FCT Minister, Barr. Nyesom Wike for the project he called on residents of the city to protect the iconic public infrastructure
Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, Nyesom Wike praised the representative of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, the First Lady, who he credited with the idea that gave birth to the new look of the City Gate.

“What is the role of the First Lady, it is to fill the gaps where necessary. She called my attention to the bad shape which the City Gate was in before”.

“People should emulate what you are doing and thinking about the nation”
“When people come here now, for their social events, to take pictures, they can say ‘I am in overseas, the overseas I am is Nigeria”.

Built in 1991 by the Ibrahim Babangida administration as a welcoming monument, where the three arms of government were received into Abuja as the new FCT, the now remodelled City gate is the latest in the series of landmark infrastructure built and inaugurated by the FCT administration to mark the third anniversary of the Tinubu administration.
