The Vice President, Senator Kashim Shettima, has commissioned the newly built Brigadier Abba Kyari Banquet Hall, Sir Kashim Ibrahim House, at Government House, Kaduna.
Shettima said the building will inspire a greater ambition to position Kaduna as a destination for regional, national, and global engagement in the nation’s commonwealth.
Speaking during the commissioning, he said it was deeply gratifying that “the bold sweep of infrastructure championed by the Kaduna State Government to secure the welfare of the people has proceeded without neglecting the equally urgent duty to strengthen the architecture of governance itself.”
The Vice President described the Banquet Hall as an enduring legacy and a solemn promise of the order, dignity, and confidence that Kaduna State symbolises, just as he praised Governor Sani for continuing to set the standard due to his understanding of a historical truth that “Kaduna leads while others take notes.”
“And so we must applaud His Excellency, Governor Uba Sani, for matching words with works, for giving visible expression to his convictions, and for proving through steady action that leadership is validated by delivery,” he added.
Also, Speaker of the House of Representatives, Hon. Tajudeen Abbas, said the construction of a new banquet hall by the Kaduna State government was a show of commitment toward improving infrastructure, stressing that the project aligns with national direction under President Tinubu, whose emphasis is on ensuring investment delivers national values and improves the living conditions of Nigerians.
Explaining why the banquet hall had become necessary, Governor Sani said the construction of the world class edifice was a deliberate effort towards strengthening institutions and governance in the state, as the building would be used “for high level diplomatic interactions that will further showcase our dear state to the world.”
