Deputy Governor, Arc. Barnabas Yusuf Bala is giving the welcome address. 
The 2019 Kaduna State Inauguration Lecture will be delivered by @DrJoeAbah
“I remember with fondness the passionate guest lecture by Professor Pius Adesanmi who spoke about prudence in achieving results for the people, even amidst resource scarcity. May we all rise in memory of this young man and applaud his contributions to humanity.” Dep Gov. Bantex
“Today is a significant moment for me. It marks perhaps the last official, public engagement in which I can speak as Deputy Governor of Kaduna State. It is therefore appropriate to register my immense gratitude for the opportunity to work and serve with Malam Nasir El-Rufai.”
“I leave office with pride that I worked with a man so committed to Putting People First, a man so resolutely committed to promoting equality of opportunity.”
“I am grateful to know the man, not just the public figure. One of his strongest qualities is empathy. This is what makes him such a responsive public officer. I am beneficiary of this empathy, and have seen it shown to many others.” Deputy Governor Barnabas Yusuf Bala (Bantex)
“I have witnessed at close quarters his amazing fortitude and the humility hidden behind his sharp intellect and famous blunt talk. Nasir El-Rufai is a remarkably self-assured man, in adversity & triumph. This self-confidence inclines him to be persuadable by superior arguments“
“As I leave government, I shall be eternally proud of the reforms that we accomplished, especially in Education, Local Government and Citizenship. And I leave with gladness that Malam Nasir El-Rufai has proven that timidity is not the route to a second term as governor.” Bantex
