Nyesom Wike, the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, has received advice from President Bola Tinubu to stay focused on his developmental program and avoid getting sidetracked by detractors and “busybodies.”
During Tuesday’s opening of the renovated International Conference Centre in Abuja—now known as the Bola Ahmed Tinubu International Conference Centre in his honor—Tinubu gave the charge.
According to reports, the President said Wike, “I am happy that you are reflecting that, Nyesom Wike.” No matter what the busybodies and onlookers say, ignore them and keep up the good work. You are a leader who transforms. You have the drive, vision, and insight to be successful.

President Tinubu, who recently returned to Abuja after a two-week vacation in Lagos, stated that the renovated facility reflects his administration’s renewed dedication to providing high-quality services and transforming the country.
This is a component of our resolute attempts to alter our actions so that they better represent who we are as individuals of excellence, moral character, tenacity, and high spirits. We are just that,” he said.
According to the president, his administration understood that modern infrastructure continues to be the foundation of economic success.
“We are determined to renew the infrastructure and other important sectors of this country (such as transportation, healthcare, education, energy, and urban development) through the Renewed Hope Agenda,” he stated.
“Because we are aware that a strong economy in a society that is inclusive and forward-thinking depends on modern infrastructure.”
Tinubu added that Nigeria’s dedication to “regional diplomacy, continental trade discussions, global partnerships, and many more thoughtful, well-outlined goals that reflect our Nigerian first” was reflected in the renovated conference center.
Several dignitaries attended the ceremony, including Attorney-General Lateef Fagbemi, Finance Minister Wale Edun, Senate President Godswill Akpabio, and other high-ranking government officials.
