The minister of Federal Capital Territory Nyesom Wike, has defended his administration's N39 billion investment in the rehabilitation of the Bola Tinubu International Conference Centre.

He stated that the investment was already yielding substantial returns since its re-commissioning on June 10, 2025.

Speaking in Abuja, Wike disclosed that the facility has generated a whooping N650 Bn three weeks after its re-opening.

He said this was a monumental shift in the centre's its financial yield. Wike said this is a stark contrast to the 50 million per annum previously paid by the facility's former operator.

He described the revamped BTICC as a "window" into the country.

The FCT minister announced that the centre was now fully booked until 2027.

He added that naming the facility after President Bola Tinubu, highlights his pivotal leadership in ensuring the long-overdue rehabilitation of the centre.
