Nigerian lawyer cum Human Rights Activist, Deji Adeyanju, has described the whooping ₦39 billion spent on the renovation of the Bola Tinubu International Conference Centre (ICC) as a scam.

Naijaonpoint recalls that in June, President Tinubu commissioned the ICC which was renovated by the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Nyesom Wike.

The ICC, which was built in 1991 by the regime of former Military President, Ibrahim Babangida, was renamed the Bola Tinubu International Conference Centre after ₦39 billion was spent on its renovation.

Wike, during a recent press conference, also claimed that the ICC is now generating as much as ₦700 million since its renovation.

However, Adeyanju, in a post via 𝕏 on Sunday, July 20, 2025, decried the alleged poor state of the ICC.

Adeyanju said he attended a birthday party at the facility and was dismayed by the state of the place.

According to him, the air conditioners were not working and he is convinced that even “₦5 billion was not put into the place for repairs.”

He wrote, “I attended the Seyi Vodi party yesterday at ICC and I felt so sorry for this country. The air conditioning was not working, and I am convinced N5 billion was not put into the place for repairs. At most N3 bn was put in it. What happened at that place cannot be called anything else other than a scam.”
