 The Federal Capital Territory LCT Minister Nyesum Wike has shot down the International Conference Center, ICC, for eight months for lack of maintenance. The minister, who announced this after inspecting the facility, cancelled all events and activities booked at the venue. Expressing disappointment at a state of the facility during the inspection, Wike queried why the contract of the maintenance of such an edifice was handed over to what he called an incompetent company. He announced that, with immediate effect, the contract for the comprehensive renovation of the International Conference Center had been awarded to Jules Berger for a period of eight months. There's no way we can accept this as an international conference center. You can call it a conference center, but not international. There's no standard compared. So we decided that we can't continue to be embarrassed in this way. So we're sorry to announce this, every booking meant to be used here is cancelled because we'll start immediate rehabilitation of this center to meet our international standard. We have called the original contractor that built this edifice, that is Jules Berger, to come back. Because if we have bought a new contractor, it will take us time to look at the design or we don't have the drawing and this and that, but if they have the design and the drawing so that they can come here, we'll believe that in the next seven, eight months, they should be able to do something that people will appreciate. And then that means the FFCD will not take over the habitation through Jules Berger. And then when they finish, they hand over to Abudian Investment Company. I'm not here to prove anybody. I don't want to begin to find excuses why the Jules Berger and Abudian Investment Company knows what to do. Mine is to give the contractor a B15 International Conference Center.
