Gov Zulum Commissions State Remodeled Hotel
Borno State Governor Babagana Zulum commissioned the remodeled Borno State Hotel in Maiduguri on Monday 30th December.
The remodeled State Hotel showcases contemporary design and traditional Borno architecture. It has upgraded facilities, including a state-of-the-art conference hall, luxurious suites, and a restaurant that serves local Borno and international cuisine.
Speaking to journalists after the brief ceremony, Zulum noted that the project will foster economic growth, create job opportunities for the youth, and generate revenue for the state.
Zulum also announced that his administration has started reconstructing the Maiduguri International Hotel, owned by the Borno State Government.
He said, “The State Hotel has been rehabilitated very well. My administration is working towards investment that can sustain the state even without federal allocation. One way we can do this is by ensuring that we revive most of our moribund institutions, and this hotel is one of them.”
“We shall diversify our investment to earn revenue aside from the normal statutory allocation from the federation account. Within the remaining time as the governor of Borno State, we will invest in sectors that will yield more dividends to the government.”
Zulum strongly warned that management should ensure all services rendered to the government, public officials, and politicians are duly paid.
The Secretary to Borno State Government, Alhaji Bukar Tijani, Head of Service, Barrister Mallam Fannami, commissioners, and other senior government officials attended the occasion.
