The Anambra State Government on Tuesday said it would spend N2.5 billion to transform Agulu Lake into a leisure and entertainment centre.

Located along Awka Road in Agulu Town, Aniocha Local Council of Anambra State, Agulu Lake is home to an estimated three hundred crocodiles and water turtles.

In 2013, a former governor of Anambra State, Peter Obi, began developing the lake to turn it into not just a tourist site with a 5-star hotel.

Mr Onyenji said they would harness the Agulu Lake project to international standards to attract local and international tourists and further boost state tourism.

He said: “The present administration is committed to harnessing the state’s rich tourism and cultural heritage for local and international tourists.

“This is why Agulu Lake will be transformed into Anambra State Leisure and Entertainment Centre with a boat ride, golf course, children’s park, entertainment hub and other fun and relaxation sites.

“I assure you that when this project is completed, it will surpass what you have in Disney World, and it will be a major source of income to boost the state’s Internally Generated Revenue,” he said.

The commissioner said the ministry received architectural designs and concepts to drive the Agulu Lake project.
Mr Onyenji said the ministry was also collating heritage sites in different communities in the state for development.
He urged the legislature to approve the ministry’s budget to help it achieve its plans for the state’s tourism and entertainment sector.
Reacting, Smart Okafor, a lawmaker representing Nnewi North Constituency, noted no breakdown on how they would spend the N2.5 billion on the Agulu Lake project.
“Your Ministry will have to go back and specify how they will spend the budget allocation t to achieve a transparent and realistic costing.
“The legislature wants the ministry to succeed and achieve this project because Anambra is yet to have relaxation and fun centres to drive tourism,” he said.

Obi Anambra competing with Tinubu Lagos

Nice one

The place is fine..

Let the government build industries and cottage industries in every community.

Let the government fix power supply..

Let the government teach manufacturing and industrialization to Nigerians..

Let the government make innovation our own culture...

These projects are good, but they must come after a successful industrialization process to create wealth for their citizens to enjoy the hotel.

The hotel is a class on his own

Obi had staggered first tenure, he was impeached twice, the state assembly members were dominated by opposition party PDP, they frustrated him because he refused to share state money to them, it was after second tenure election APGA took over the State assembly he started aggressive works in all sectors, the ones he couldn't finish he left enough money for the projects to be completed

Obi completed it while Obiano handed it Golden Tulip

That was what the mumu man called Obi couldn't do when the cost was cheaper rather he kept the monies in the bank

Parable of the talent will tell you that Obi is a foolish man and his headless dogs cant think too .

Example: how much would it have cos to build an airport during Obi and the cost during Obiano?

But the mumu and his dogs are comparing Obi with Tinubu.

Obi is a good man but very bad manager.
