VP Shettima Returns To Abuja After Eid Visit To Maiduguri

Vice President Kashim Shettima @officialSKSM returned to Abuja yesterday after the Eid al-Adha events in Maiduguri, Borno State.

While in Maiduguri, the Vice President unveiled the National Asset Restoration Programme by the National Agency for Science and Engineering Infrastructure (@NASENIHQ) at the Borno State Agricultural Mechanization (BOSAMA) Farm Centre. The initiative aims to restore and repurpose tens of thousands of abandoned public assets and machinery nationwide.

VP Shettima also inaugurated the power infrastructure project at Borno State University, executed by the Niger Delta Power Holding Company Limited (@ndphconline).

The project includes a 1×7.5 MVA, 33/11 kV injection substation, 3 km of 33 kV line, 2.5 km of 11 kV line, 2.5 km of LT line, and three 500 kVA distribution transformers designed to improve electricity supply to the university and surrounding communities.

Both projects align with President Bola Ahmed Tinubu's @officialABAT Renewed Hope Agenda to enhance infrastructure development and boost economic activities across the country.

PDPGuy:
Thanks for the history lesson. But didn’t it also host the 2005 National Conference?

Yes it did.

Nigeria hosted an Organisation of African Unity (OAU) summit in1991. The summit was held in the new capital, Abuja.

Several 6-door stretch W124 Mercedes Benz were bought to ferry leaders at the summit.

Apart from African leaders, the United Nations Secretary General, Javier Perez de Cuellar and the Palestinian Liberation Organisation (PLO) Chairman, Yasser Arafat also attended the summit.

The International Conference Center (ICC) in Abuja was built to host the summit.

The ICC has also served as the chamber of the National Assembly (1992-1993) and it has hosted the 1995, 2005 and 2014 National Conferences.

The ICC has been in bad shape a few times, which has led to calls for it to be renovated.

The center is currently undergoing renovation and will soon be commissioned.
