Remodelled Abuja City Gate reflects Nigeria’s character, pride, says Tinubu
President Bola Tinubu said on Thursday that the remodelled Abuja City Gate reflects Nigeria’s character and communicates the pride of its people.
Mr Tinubu made the remarks in Abuja while inaugurating the monument, remodelled by the Federal Capital Territory Administration.
The president, represented by the first lady, Oluremi Tinubu, described the edifice as an “iconic landmark” that symbolises Nigeria’s national identity and serves as the gateway to the nation’s capital.
“The city gate, 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,” he stated.
Mr Tinubu commended FCT minister Nyesom Wike for remodelling the monument and for his relentless dedication to transforming the general ambience of the nation’s capital.
He said that Wike’s efforts were contributing to the transformation of Abuja into a capital city that every Nigerian could be truly proud of.
This, he said, was being done in line with his administration’s vision to build a nation that works for its people through purposeful leadership, modern infrastructure, sustainable development, and an improved quality of life.
