Fayemi To Convert State Properties To Hotels by gidson12(m): 6:54am On Aug 02, 2011
Ekiti to convert gov’s office, Abuja house to hotels
Ado-Ekiti – Governor Kayode Fayemi of Ekiti State, has said the present governor’s office and Ekiti house in Abuja will be converted to hotels to raise money for the state. . .

He said: “This government met a mountain of debts and we have an agenda for transformation. Ekiti people do not believe in excuses. They believe Fayemi is a magician. I believe we can approach the capital market like my predecessor Otunba Adebayo who was the first governor to take a bond from the capital market. We are reconverting the Governor’s office back to a hotel, which has its original design.

We need a hotel that can accommodate between 100 and 120 people at a time in Ado-Ekiti. We are converting Ekiti House in Abuja to a hotel and we are going to get a new liaison office.

I also wonder how states should have governor's lodge, another liasion office in Abuja and both maintained with taxpayers' money ! Btw,does Ekiti has two government house or is fayemi intending to operate from his house ?

Good move by d gov'nor. More money in d asset column. I recommend same 4 for other poverty striken states like Ebonyi, Yobe,Jigawa,Taraba and other poor states.

The former governor of Ekiti State Fayose converted Fountain Hotel to governor's office. Otunba Niyi Adebayo started the hotel but when he lost his re-election Fayose finished the hotel and turned it to his office. Good move Fayemi,you can return to the former governor's office.

^ guy, hav u been to d former governor's office? If u have, u won't want him to do dt, but probably build a newer one at d new state secretariat site.

D present office is befitting enough, but if he has to relinquish it, he probably should build a new one as d former one was d old local government chairman office of Ado local government before d state Ws created. I have been there before and it looks too unbefitting.

@ Plutarch,
how is it a nice move, what positive diffrence would it make, converting a small state government house/ laison office to a hotel, how much revenue would it generate to the state. Someone is about to curruptly obtain governments property. The next move would be to sell it

Yes they should sell it cuz I don't know why these states keep liasion offices in Abuja only to let them as offices even in Lagos too. What purpose do liasion offices serve ?
Re: Fayemi To Convert State Properties To Hotels by Plutarch: 8:16am On Aug 02, 2011
@gidson,
its still beta than spending govt money maintaining it and no matter how little some amt of money thru this initiative
Re: Fayemi To Convert State Properties To Hotels by ektbear: 8:48am On Aug 02, 2011
Good move. Would be better to eventually even sell it off, no? Sold to the highest bidder transparently and openly.

that is where it would eventually head to, 'selling it', but transparency would be a big issue

Fayemi seems like a pretty good chap and so far hasn't really made any major mistakes (imo.) Let's give him the benefit of the doubt, for now.

The idea is good to generate income to the state but the manager is the biggest problem. Government managers don't always make profit until given to private owner then you see profit been declare.

It is a good one.
Re: Fayemi To Convert State Properties To Hotels by Solozzo(m): 3:56pm On Aug 02, 2011
Better to sell the properties, and use the money for a project that benefits the common people rather than running a hotel.

Narrow-minded thinkers!!!

There is nothing narrow minded in what he has done.
I am sure each hotel would successfully emply at least 50 new staff and make more revenue for the state.
Go ask Pathfinder hotel in Ado-Ekiti how much millions he rakes in monthly.

Things are getting tight for govt officials this days, they say Jonathan don tighten, the tap well well how can one think of turning the state government house to hotel/brothel  tongue tongue i have seen were i go dey bleep illeke idi when ever i come ekiti state tongue tongue




But for real if Jonathan put pressure on his government to find how they can generate more revenue to carter for their states,and the money the states receive is not enough to pay salaries in the state,governors have to look for other revenues to meet up that way they will be force to work,when the governors can see that they don't have enough income in their state finding ways to steal money will be limited cool
Re: Fayemi To Convert State Properties To Hotels by Nobody: 6:09pm On Aug 02, 2011
And they say they're business minded.

Kudos to Fayemi.
Re: Fayemi To Convert State Properties To Hotels by puffpuff: 6:40pm On Aug 02, 2011
Instead of hotel management, why not lease. This will fetch a fixed and tangible income.It is a visible fact that govt is not good at managing business. The managers of these ventures only manage for their pockets and this ultimately bankcrupt the business. Thus outliving the purpose of such venture.

As per where the Governor will be operating from,that is his own problem. I am comfortable with this step as long it brings development to the 'Land of Honour'and this ultimately bankcrupt the business. Thus outliving the purpose of such venture.
