The Kaduna State Governor, Uba Sani, has commissioned and named a banquet hall after Brigadier General Abba Kyari (rtd) for his contributions to the northern Nigeria.
The governor disclosed this on his verified Facebook page after the commissioning of the banquet hall by Vice President, Senator Kashim Shettima.
He wrote, “Today, we did more than commission a building; we gave expression to a governing vision rooted in purpose, dignity, and long-range thinking.
“The unveiling of the Abba Kyari Banquet Hall is not an isolated achievement, but a deliberate investment in the institutional architecture of Kaduna State; a space designed to host consequential conversations, deepen partnerships, and project the confidence of a state that is prepared to lead.
“It affirms our readiness not only to serve our people with commitment, but to engage meaningfully with ideas and alliances that shape development beyond our immediate boundaries.
“I am particularly encouraged by the presence and thoughtful reflections of His Excellency, the Vice President, Senator Kashim Shettima, GCON. His generous observation that Kaduna continues to set a standard worthy of emulation is both humbling and instructive.
“It reinforces the importance of sustaining a careful balance between advancing citizens’ welfare, implementing impactful policies, and strengthening the institutions that give governance its enduring legitimacy.
“His remarks underscore a shared understanding that infrastructure of this nature is not ornamental, but integral to the evolving demands of leadership in a modern state.
“In naming this facility after Brigadier General Abba Kyari (rtd), the highly regarded first and longest serving Military Governor of North-Central State (present-day Kaduna State), we have anchored this milestone in history and principle.
“We honour a legacy defined by discipline, clarity of purpose, and steadfast service. The deeply felt appreciation expressed by his family is a poignant reminder that true leadership leaves an imprint that transcends time.
“As we look ahead, this Banquet Hall will stand as a symbol of continuity; where legacy informs action, and where our collective aspiration for a more inclusive and progressive Kaduna State finds enduring expression.”
