I arrived at Ahmadu Bello University around May 2004 as I had recently started work with the BBC World Service Trust ( now BBC Media Action ) unit who had started operations in Kaduna late 2003.
The BBC needed a project manager to assist with the rebuild of the media centre on the ABU campus, providing two control rooms, a computer centre and training room. The project went from taking the building back to a shell, to a full fit out in about a year, with students using the facility about six months into the build.

I was able to re visit in late 2009 during the FIFA U17 World Cup held in Nigeria as was glad to see it was still all there
