Murtala Square (formerly known as Kaduna Race Course) is a public square in Kaduna. It was historically the venue of horse racing events and it is also the location of the Kaduna Polo Club ground, Kaduna State Ministry of Youth, Sport and Culture, Umaru Musa Yar'Adua Indoor Sport Hall among others.

The square also hosts facilities like gymnasiums, an indoor sport hall, football fields, a hockey pitch, etc. Many public events are held at the square, such as the Kaduna Grand Durbar, Kaduna Centenary Celebrations, Nigeria's Independence Day parade, May Day, Inauguration Ceremony of Governors, Army Day, Human Rights Day, etc.


The square was in a bad shape and the administration of Governor Nasir El-Rufai decided to remodel, reconstruct and renovate it. The renovated Murtala Square was commissioned by President Muhammadu Buhari today. Here are pictures of the square.

Same El rufai that his indigenes are being murdered on a daily basis,I wonder what colour is your foolishness.

Working governor my shit.

Idi*tic olosho, you can't comment without insult right

And a certain Shehu Sani think he can defeat APC to become governor in 2023. Joker!

Wish Kaduna could exchange governor with Benue for the remainder of their tenure. Benue is the worst governed stage on the continent, believe that.

Southern leaders are the basic cause of our problem and not the president in the centre,

Over to the wailers

The only problem with dis short man is that he...

Good job.
Naija will be fine, provided there is such steady progress anywhere in the country regardless of how little the development comes, it will surely add to ongoing nation-building.

Truth be told, this is a local government project
The Nigerian psyche needs redemption

This is just so beautiful and commendable

Una must wail and find one negative thing to say sha.
When are you people ever happy?
So in all these beautiful projects you are seeing, which we are sure whatever state you are from in Nigeria do not have, you still can't find a positive or good thing to write?

Kontinue ooo,
Na dere u dey so.

TheABOMINATION:
I thought basketball was an indoor sport. Something that is not even up to standard of a local county basket ball court in the US is what Buhari is commissioning.

Dem tell you say na NBA matches dem.wan dey play there right?
Even if you haven't had the chance to travel abroad, atleast you watch movies and you see thousands of outdoor basketball courts same as this all over USA and UK, But your hatred for your country has blinded you.
Shame on you.

El-rufai has tried, too bad insecurity is disturbing the state.

The short man devil is doing his best

Nigeria will work for us that believe in her,
For the others, the negativity they always pray for will be their portion in life..

No be curse,
Na Rule of Life.

oloyedewaris:
ipobs will condemn it

Ipobs cannibalistic animals are doing that already.
Nothing in life ever makes them happy.
Very bitter swines they are.
That is why they will never progress in life.
They will all Perish along with their bastard murderer and animal called cownu, for all pains he has brought to thousands of families in the country.

Truth be told some of the Northern Governors are doing very well when it comes to infrastructural development.

Working because of glossy pictures of infrastructure, or because he has done the basics of governance in water, education, healthcare, roads and jobs to reduce insecurity and crime
