Lord Lugard Hall Kaduna State




Lord-Lugard-Hall-Kad

After signing the pact that united the two protectorates on January 1st, 1914, Lugard would later relocate to Kaduna, from where he administered Nigeria on behalf of the British government. Apparently, the history of Nigeria will not be complete without this ex-soldier, explorer and colonial master; but his monuments, especially the house in which he lived in the Government Reserved Area (GRA), Kaduna is crumbling.

When Kaduna was the headquarters of the Northern Region, before and after independence, all major legislative decisions of government emanated from the Lugard Hall. It used to be the hall where laws were made for the governance of the then Northern Province of Nigeria.

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.

Lugard-Hall-Kaduna

The building was used as the House of Assembly and House of Chiefs during the First Republic. During the second Republic (from 1979 - 1983), the hall still retained its administrative status where it was also used as the House of Legislature.

In the current administration, the Lugard Hall is still used as the Kaduna State house of Assembly Chambers. The building is a magnificent and monumental structure, which is fascinating and attractive to tourists.
