Despite its strategic location and proximity to Lagos, the commercial centre of Nigeria, the Gateway Hotel, Ota, one of the three hotels established by the late former governor of Ogun State, Chief Olabisi Onabanjo, has been abandoned and is currently in ruins. https://punchng.com/gateway-hotel-ota-multimillion-investment-rots-houses-rodents-as-daniel-amosuns-cold-war-ruins-ogun-legacy-project/ 1 Share

“It may interest you to know that the Gateway Hotel, Ota, was one of the places we visited. “We sent the Director of Tourism Development and Promotion and some of his members of staff so that they would give us the state of things despite the fact that we knew the public opinion about it. The government did not stop what it wanted to do and now decided to go there to see for ourselves the state of things. They brought back their report. “What we realised was that the administration after that of Otunba Gbenga Daniel did nothing about it and as a result of that, we realised that a lot of the facilities that were there had been carted away; they left that place moribund and virtually all the equipment that were there have been carted away. “We don’t know who did that and then the environment, only God knows the number of years that it has been abandoned, has become the dens of hooligans and we learnt that some Hausa/Fulani have started inhabiting the area.” On the plans by the Abiodun administration for the facility, Taiwo said, “When we got the report, our plan as a government is to make sure that we resuscitate it to make it better than what we met on the ground and to also make sure that we develop it to the extent that it will have good looks that will be appealing and it will be able to complete with most of the five-star hotels that we have in the world. “In the course of doing that, what the government is trying to do is to extend the hand of fellowship to any private organisation that is ready to take it up so that at least at the end of the day, we can reach an agreement through the MoU to be able to hand it over to them, so that at the end of the day it comes back to life and is resuscitated. “Our plan is to make sure that we give a private organisation an opportunity to come in; it is a potential that the government is looking towards getting an investor, who will be ready to take it up; so, that is the government’s stand on that property.” On if the investor had been chosen, the commissioner stated, “For now, consultations and some other things are going on. But, as we speak, there has not been any investor that has signed on that property. “We have an agency that is handling that – Ogun Invest. It is an agency that is saddled with that responsibility of having a handshake with investors and potential investors.” Several attempts to get reactions from those who served in Amosun’s administration failed. The former Commissioner for Commerce, Trade and Industry, Bimbo Ashiru, said he did not want to make any comment on the issue so as not to be misunderstood. The former Commissioner for Information under Amosun, Dayo Adeneye, could not be reached as of the time of filing this report. The commissioner did not respond to a text message sent to his phone as of the time of sending this report. Also, the former Secretary to the State Government during Amosun administration, Taiwo Adeoluwa had not replied to a text message sent to him as of the time of sending this report. https://punchng.com/gateway-hotel-ota-multimillion-investment-rots-houses-rodents-as-daniel-amosuns-cold-war-ruins-ogun-legacy-project/ 1 Like 1 Share
