Lugard Hall is situated at the centre of a circular road in the northern part of Kaduna. It is neighbouring the Murtala Square by the north. It’s construction resembles the typical palaces of northern emirs with decorative motifs, and stands at the head of the main street.

Constructed by the British colonial government around 1914, the idea of building the hall came as a result of the relocation of the headquarters of Northern Nigeria from Zungeru to Kaduna in 1911. The building’s design was brought by Lord Frederick Lugard, then Governor of Northern Nigeria, when he moved to Nigeria from India in 1904.

Nice piece of history. Restoration work on the building won't be a bad idea.

That one have not collapsed NASS are lying that theirs want to collapse.

Wow nice..
I guess it would be one of the best building in the city then...

Beautiful structure.

Symbol of excellence and unity of our dear nation Nigeria

Nass should be moved there since the building is still standing firm so that National assembly will not collapse .

Bros, NASS might be right o. Remember, na oyinbo build that hall. Our Nigeria people hate building things that will last. Don't be surprised if they say they want to renovate again in the next 20yrs. Money must be chopped. If you pass inside railway yard in Lagos, the buildings there will remain in the next hundred years, they look rock solid just like that hall.

I love history

See building that was constructed in 1919, still standing gallantly, not like the death traps that we construct today, after 2 years, everywhere go don dey crack, like crackers biscuit.
What a country!!!

Nice piece of trash

Make dem allocate 30billion for renovation.

Part of the history of the problem Nigeria...
