Enugu State Gov. Peter Nba welcoming Landmark CEO, Paul Onwanibe to Enugu State for investment
In addition to the recent move to develop a strategic waterfront in Port Harcourt, Rivers State, Enugu State governor, Peter has signed fresh deal with the owner of Landmark Event Centre in Lekki Lagos that came under demolition early 2024 to invest in the state with unprecedented freebies.
Recently on his official X handle, Mba wrote on Friday that we “Delighted to share that we have sealed a deal with the renowned Landmark Africa Group to revamp and reposition the iconic Nike Lake Resort.
This Public-Private Partnership (PPP) marks a bold step towards achieving our vision of growing Enugu’s economy to $30 billion within the next six years.
Under this agreement, the Enugu State Government has entrusted the Nike Lake Resort as an asset, while Landmark Africa Group will invest an impressive N10 billion in the first phase to restore its past glory. This investment will bring in up to two (2) million visitors annually, create countless jobs, and significantly boost our Internally Generated Revenue (IGR).
Nike Lake Resort is a jewel of our state and a symbol of our rich history and potential. By partnering with Landmark, a leader in the hospitality industry, we are setting the stage for the Resort to become a premier global destination for tourism, business, and relaxation.
This collaboration aligns seamlessly with our broader efforts to transform Enugu into a hub of opportunities. Our administration has committed N800 billion this year alone to infrastructure development, including the ongoing dualisation of the Enugu-Opi-Nsukka Road, which will enhance connectivity to the Resort and foster even more investments along the corridor.
To our prospective investors, I extend an open invitation: Enugu is ready for business. We are creating an environment where businesses thrive, backed by improved infrastructure, enhanced security, and progressive governance.
I applaud the Founder and CEO of Landmark Africa Group, Mr. Paul Onwuanibe, for believing in our vision and for joining us in this journey to restore Nike Lake Resort’s iconic status.
