President commends Wike as he Inaugurates remodeled Abuja City Gate

The skyline of Nigeria's Federal Capital Territory, Abuja now wears a new look typifying the spirit of the nation’s unity in diversity.
This is following the inauguration of the remodeled Abuja City Gate by President Bola Ahmed Tinubu.
The President who was represented by Nigeria’s First Lady Senator Oluremi Tinubu called on Abuja residents to protect and preserve the landmark public infrastructure.

President Bola Ahmed Tinubu underscored the importance of any City Gate worldwide.
“When we look at a nation’s capital, it represents the heart of its people. Abuja is Nigeria’s diplomatic and administrative centre, where all thirty-six states meet. Therefore, her city gate is 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”.
“This newly remodeled Abuja city gate, with its beautiful water fountain representing the 36 States and the Federal Capital Territory, tells every visitor and Nigerians arriving from the airport that they have entered a city built on unity, diversity, and shared aspirations. This city gate can proudly stand side by side with notable gateways and public monuments in many cities around the world”.

The President through Nigeria's First Lady Senator Oluremi Tinubu said the remodelled City Gate is a towering monument to Nigeria's unity in diversity commemorating the 3rd anniversary of his administration and the 50th anniversary of the Federal Capital Territory.

Appreciating FCT Minister, Barr. Nyesom Wike for the project he called on residents of the city to protect the iconic public infrastructure
Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, Nyesom Wike praised the representative of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, the First Lady, who he credited with the idea that gave birth to the new look of the City Gate.
“What is the role of the First Lady, it is to fill the gaps where necessary. She called my attention to the bad shape which the City Gate was in before”.
“People should emulate what you are doing and thinking about the nation”
“When people come here now, for their social events, to take pictures, they can say ‘I am in overseas, the overseas I am is Nigeria”.

Built in 1991 by the Ibrahim Babangida administration as a welcoming monument, where the three arms of government were received into Abuja as the new FCT, the now remodelled City gate is the latest in the series of landmark infrastructure built and inaugurated by the FCT administration to mark the third anniversary of the Tinubu administration.

Today, on World Tuberculosis Day 2025, I join the global community in reaffirming our commitment to ending one of the world’s deadliest infectious diseases, Tuberculosis (TB). Under this year’s theme, “Yes! We Can End TB: Commit, Invest, Deliver,” we are reminded that winning the fight against TB is possible when we unite our efforts, invest in proven solutions, and ensure the delivery of life-saving interventions to all who need them.

As the National and Global Stop TB Champion, I take this responsibility with deep personal commitment. The fight against TB is not just a policy issue, it is personal, I have felt the pain of the loss of a friend. This is just a painful reminder that TB remains a major health threat, especially when it goes undiagnosed and untreated. We must not allow more lives to be lost to a disease that is both preventable and curable.

I call on every Nigerian to take TB seriously. If you have a persistent cough lasting more than two weeks, unexplained weight loss, night sweats, or fever, please visit the nearest health facility for free TB testing and treatment. TB is curable, and early treatment saves lives.

Together, Yes! We Can End TB. Let us commit, invest, and deliver on this promise for a healthier and TB-free Nigeria.

God bless Nigeria.

Her Excellency, Senator Oluremi Tinubu, CON.

STATEHOUSE PRESS RELEASE

PRESIDENT TINUBU LAUDS ACCOMPLISHMENTS OF DIASPORAN NIGERIANS

President Bola Tinubu, on Thursday in Abuja, said the positive reports on Nigerians in the diaspora would inspire the younger generation on values that enhance the nation's image.

The President commended diasporan Nigerians while receiving Letters of Credence from the High Commissioner of Canada to Nigeria, Pasquale Salvaggio, and the High Commissioner of Sierra Leone, Dr Julius F. Sandy, at the State House.

President Tinubu also received Letters of Credence from Legesse Geremew Haile, the Ambassador of Ethiopia to Nigeria, and Archbishop Michael Francis Crotty, the Apostolic Nuncio of the Vatican to Nigeria.

The Canadian High Commissioner told President Tinubu that Nigerians are active in education, sports, science, health, and business in his country.

He said Nigerians in Canada demonstrate high responsibility, civility, and purposefulness when pursuing their goals.

"For us, Nigeria is a key partner. You are the largest country in Africa, with one of the largest economies. You are also Canada's largest trading partner in Africa.

"I would like to advance the positive relations over the years. The diaspora in Canada is dynamic and strong. We have Nigerians in government, business, science, and sports. We want to build the ties further," the Canadian High Commissioner said.

Salvaggio, who had previously worked in Ghana and Cote'Ivoire, said Canada seeks to expand its interest in oil and gas, ICT, and agriculture in its partnership with Nigeria.

President Tinubu lauded Nigerians' accomplishments abroad, describing them as an inspiration to many.

"It is good to hear about how Nigerians are doing well in the diaspora again," he said.

In another meeting with the High Commissioner of Sierra Leone, President Tinubu affirmed that Nigeria's interest in developing the West Coast and Africa remains a priority.

The President told the envoy that Nigeria's decades-long investment in Sierra Leone has contributed to Africa's progress and promoted bilateral relations.

The High Commissioner thanked the President for Nigeria's support in keeping the country together.

"In Sierra Leone, more Nigerians are doing business than Sierra Leoneans. Most of my teachers in school were Nigerians. There is no difference between a Nigerian and a Sierra Leonean when you are walking in the street of Freetown," the High Commissioner said.

At another meeting with the new Ethiopian envoy, President Tinubu discussed the warm relations between Nigeria and Ethiopia.

"We need to continue pursuing peace in our continent. We need to work hard together to promote peace and stability. Our challenge in Africa is insecurity. Insecurity detracts from development. We do not have anybody that will bring peace to us, except we work for it," he said.

The Ambassador of Ethiopia remarked, "I am in Nigeria to build on the achievements of my predecessors. We will focus on culture. Our cultural relations are a big industry, already enhanced by the Ethiopian Airline."

After receiving the Letter of Credence from the Apostolic Nuncio of the Vatican, President Tinubu commended the Catholic Church for its investments in education and interventions to reduce poverty.

"We have a lot of value for education in Nigeria, and the Catholic Church has done a lot in that regard, as well as in fighting poverty. Education reduces ignorance and poverty," he added.

President Tinubu said he looked forward to receiving the Vatican's leadership in Nigeria.
