Wike orders closure of famous event centre
Legit.ng reported that Nyesom Wike, the minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), has suspended all activities scheduled at the International Conference Centre (ICC) for eight months.
As reported by Daily Trust, Wike, visibly angry at the facility's state of disrepair, gave the order on Monday, April 8, 2024, after an extensive tour of the sprawling complex.
Wike wondered why the contract for maintaining an edifice meant for international events would be handed over to an incompetent firm. He noted that the centre had been left to dilapidate.
