Senator Ahmad Abdulhamid Malam Madori, representing Jigawa North-East Senatorial District, has flagged off the construction of a 1,200-capacity international-standard multipurpose conference centre in Hadejia, Jigawa State.
The project, located at the old prison premises in Hadejia, is expected to provide a modern platform for conferences, seminars, workshops, training programmes, professional engagements and other large-scale activities.
Speaking during the foundation-laying ceremony, the senator, represented by the former Deputy Speaker of the Jigawa State House of Assembly and Special Adviser to Governor Umar Namadi on Small Town Water Supply, Hon. Adamu Ibrahim Gira, said the project was part of efforts to deliver meaningful dividends of democracy to constituents.
He explained that the intervention was designed to upgrade Hadejia with modern facilities that would meet international standards and enhance the city’s capacity to host major events.
According to him, “This infrastructure intervention is aimed at strengthening the town’s capacity to host conferences, professional engagements, community programmes and other large-scale activities.”
The facility is designed as a multifunctional centre comprising a 1,200-capacity main conference hall, a 682-square-metre main hall, stage and auditorium seating, 12 accommodation rooms, VIP lounge, mini conference room, reception courtyard, entrance porch, prayer and ablution facilities, offices and other functional spaces.
Madori said the conference centre was one of several development projects being facilitated under his constituency representation in Jigawa North-East Senatorial District.
He said the projects were in line with the Renewed Hope Agenda of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu and aimed at addressing some of the infrastructure and socio-economic needs of the people.

The senator also highlighted other constituency interventions, including projects relating to security, education and water supply, saying his priority was to ensure that his representation translated into tangible benefits for the people.
He assured the people of Hadejia that the conference centre would be completed within five months and made available for use.
The Emir of Hadejia, Alhaji Adamu Abubakar Maji, represented by the Galadiman Hadejia, Alhaji Usman Abdulaziz Zakar, commended the senator for initiating the project.
He described the centre as a people-oriented intervention that would provide Hadejia with a modern venue for conferences, seminars, capacity-building programmes, community engagements and other important activities.
The emir called on other elected representatives to emulate initiatives capable of delivering lasting benefits to their constituents.
He prayed for the successful and timely completion of the project, noting that the conference centre would add to the growing number of development interventions attributed to Senator Madori across the Jigawa North-East Senatorial District.
Also speaking, the Deputy Chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Jigawa State, Hon. Abdullahi Dukuma, commended Madori for supporting development priorities that complement the 12-point agenda of the state government under Governor Umar Namadi.
Dukuma described the project as an example of development-oriented representation and reaffirmed the party’s commitment to initiatives aimed at improving the welfare and socio-economic prospects of the people.
