The Siger Tower—which also serves as Lampung’s "point zero"—was inaugurated by Governor Sjachroedin Z.P. on April 30, 2008, through a ceremony featuring the sounding of a siren, the signing of a commemorative plaque, the release of doves alongside dozens of ambassadors, a ribbon-cutting ceremony performed by Mrs. Truly Sjachroedin, and the opening of exhibition booths representing all the regencies and cities; the Governor expressed optimism that this six-story tower would drive progress in Lampung.
