Abuja, Nigeria – March 10, 2025
The Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Nyesom Wike, has returned to Abuja following an official trip to Italy. Wike, who departed for the European nation last week, arrived at the Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport on Monday to a warm reception from officials and supporters.
Sources close to the minister indicated that the trip was focused on fostering bilateral relations and exploring potential partnerships in infrastructure development, urban planning, and economic cooperation between Nigeria and Italy.
While details of his engagements in Italy remain undisclosed, speculations suggest that Wike met with top Italian government officials and business leaders to discuss investment opportunities in Abuja’s ongoing infrastructural projects.
Upon his return, Wike is expected to resume his duties with a renewed focus on the ongoing transformation of the capital city. His administration has been actively pushing for urban renewal, improved transportation networks, and enhanced security in Abuja.
Political analysts believe that Wike’s recent travels align with the FCT’s broader agenda to attract foreign direct investment, strengthen diplomatic ties, and drive sustainable development in Nigeria’s capital.
