According to Wike, the facility has been renamed “Bola Ahmed Tinubu International Conference Centre”.
Former federal lawmaker, Senator Shehu Sani, has called on President Bola Tinubu to reject the proposed renaming of the Abuja International Conference Centre.
Recall that the Federal Capital Territory, FCT Minister, Nyesom Wike on Tuesday announced the remaining of the facility after Tinubu.
According to Wike, the facility has been renamed “Bola Ahmed Tinubu International Conference Centre”.
The Minister, who spoke during the inauguration, also disclosed that other halls in the facility were renamed after Vice President Kashim Shettima, Senate President Godswill Akpabio, House of Representatives Speaker, Tajudeen Abbas, and Chief Justice of Nigeria, Kekere-Ekun.
Reacting, Shehu Sani in a post on his official Facebook page said the facility was built by former Head of State, Ibrahim Babangida and should not be renamed after Tinubu.
He wrote, “The International Conference Centre Abuja was built by IBB. The President should reject renaming the place with his name”.
