“The State Hotel has been rehabilitated very well,” Zulum stated. “My administration is working towards investments 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.”

He further pledged to continue investing in revenue-generating sectors throughout his remaining term. Zulum issued a strong warning to the hotel management, emphasising the importance of ensuring timely payment for all services rendered to the government, public officials, and politicians.
