FCT minister Nyesom Wike arrived in Dubai, UAE, for the 2025 Asia Pacific Cities Summit and Mayors’ Forum this week.
This was disclosed in a statement on Monday.
Mr Wike was received by Nigeria’s consul general in Dubai, Zayyanu Ibrahim, as well as officials of the Federal Capital Territory Administration who had arrived earlier.
Mr Wike will, on Tuesday, lead a discussion panel, fielding questions on the FCT and interacting with mayors of other capital cities during the summit.
The 2025 APCS is expected to deliver long-term value for cities and businesses seeking trade and investment opportunities across the Asia Pacific, the Middle East, Africa, South Asia, and beyond.
The event, an initiative of Brisbane City Council, Australia, is one of the most diverse convenings of mayors, city leaders, business executives, and young professionals worldwide.
The 2025 APCS theme is Collaborate, Inspire, Transform.
The sub-themes for the summit include ‘Centres of Connection’, which focuses on the role of transportation networks, as well as other topics related to fostering sustainable urban development and enhancing quality of life.
