The statement quoted Fashola to have expressed his delight over the progress made by ARCON and calling on Nigerians to learn from the council by managing differences in order to achieve common goals.

Fashola said, “This is a much better place for the architectural family to be. Three years ago, when this council took over, it was buffeted with many crises but it had been able to manage and resolve many of those issues for the benefit of all.

“We all can only learn from the architects that despite our differences, we can still forge a common front of building than tearing apart. To do this, we need to tolerate and listen to one another.”

In his goodwill message, governor Darius Ishaku, who is also an architect, pledged his support for the project.

Ajayi applauded Fashola for his interventions as well as FCT minister, Muhammad Bello, for the allocation of landed property.

Ajayi promised that the edifice would adopt green technology and assured of the commitment towards the completion of the project within the required framework.
