Nigeria’s Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Nyesom Wike, is set to speak at the 2025 Asia Pacific Cities Summit and Mayors’ Forum holding today in Dubai, United Arab Emirates, according to media personality Lere Olayinka.
The summit, which brings together city leaders, urban development experts, and policymakers from across the Asia-Pacific region and beyond, focuses on innovative strategies for sustainable urban growth, infrastructure development, and city governance.
Wike is expected to highlight Nigeria’s ongoing efforts in transforming Abuja into a modern, resilient, and investor-friendly capital. His presentation will reportedly touch on urban planning reforms, public-private partnerships, and the FCT administration’s recent infrastructure projects.
Olayinka, who shared the update earlier today, described the Minister’s participation as a significant opportunity for Nigeria to strengthen global partnerships and attract investment into the capital territory.
The Asia Pacific Cities Summit and Mayors’ Forum (APCS) serves as one of the leading international platforms for city leaders to exchange ideas and establish collaborations aimed at shaping the future of urban centers worldwide.
Wike’s attendance underscores Nigeria’s commitment to engaging in global dialogues on sustainable urban development and positioning Abuja as a model African capital for smart growth and inclusive governance.
