\u2026President Commends Wike as He Inaugurates Remodeled Abuja City Gate<\/b><\/p>\n
The skyline of Nigeria\u2019s Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Abuja, now wears a new look, typifying the spirit of the nation\u2019s unity in diversity.<\/p>\n
This follows the inauguration of the remodeled Abuja City Gate by President Bola Ahmed Tinubu.<\/p>\n
The President, who was represented by Nigeria\u2019s First Lady, Senator Oluremi Tinubu, called on Abuja residents to protect and preserve the landmark public infrastructure.<\/p>\n
President Bola Ahmed Tinubu underscored the significance of city gates around the world.<\/p>\n
\u201cWhen we look at a nation\u2019s capital, it represents the heart of its people. Abuja is Nigeria\u2019s diplomatic and administrative centre, where all thirty-six states meet. Therefore, its City Gate is one of the first major impressions of the city. It welcomes visitors, reflects the character of our people, and communicates the pride our nation takes in its capital.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cThis newly remodeled Abuja City Gate, with its beautiful water fountain representing the 36 states and the Federal Capital Territory, tells every visitor and Nigerian 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.\u201d<\/p>\n
The President, through Nigeria\u2019s First Lady, Senator Oluremi Tinubu, said the remodeled City Gate is a towering monument to Nigeria\u2019s unity in diversity, commemorating the third anniversary of his administration and the 50th anniversary of the Federal Capital Territory.<\/p>\n
While appreciating the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, Barr. Nyesom Wike, for the project, the President called on residents of the city to protect the iconic public infrastructure.<\/p>\n
The Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, Barr. Nyesom Wike, praised the President\u2019s representative, the First Lady, whom he credited with the idea that inspired the transformation of the City Gate.<\/p>\n
\u201cWhat is the role of the First Lady? It is to fill the gaps where necessary. She called my attention to the poor state the City Gate was in before.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cPeople should emulate what you are doing and think more about the nation.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cWhen people come here now for their social events and to take pictures, they can say, \u2018I am overseas,\u2019 and the overseas they are in is Nigeria.\u201d<\/p>\n
Built in 1991 by the administration of General Ibrahim Babangida as a welcoming monument to mark the relocation of the three arms of government to Abuja as the nation\u2019s new Federal Capital Territory, the newly remodeled City Gate is the latest in a series of landmark infrastructure projects delivered and inaugurated by the FCT Administration to commemorate the third anniversary of the Tinubu administration.<\/p>\n
