In a groundbreaking development for Nigeria’s tourism and hospitality sector, Landmark Africa Group has successfully finalized a significant agreement with the Enugu State Government to take over the iconic 150-hectare Nike Lake Resort under a 35-year lease arrangement.
This transformative partnership is set to redefine the landscape of tourism in the region, with Landmark Africa Group pledging to reposition the resort as a world-class destination. The agreement aims to revive the rich legacy of Nike Lake Resort, leveraging cutting-edge hospitality standards, innovative services, and sustainable tourism practices.
Located in the serene surroundings of Enugu, Nike Lake Resort has long been recognized as a jewel of the Southeast, renowned for its breathtaking views, tranquil environment, and cultural significance. However, years of underinvestment and operational challenges had seen the resort lose its former glory.
Speaking at the official signing ceremony, representatives of Landmark Africa Group expressed their commitment to transforming the resort into a hub for leisure, business tourism, and cultural exploration. “We see this as an opportunity not just to rehabilitate a historic site but to create a beacon of excellence that will attract local and international visitors,” the CEO, Paul Onwuanibe remarked.
The Enugu State Government, led by Governor [Name], hailed the agreement as a milestone in its broader efforts to boost economic development and job creation through tourism. The governor noted that the partnership would generate employment opportunities for thousands of residents while catalyzing the local economy.
Under the terms of the lease, Landmark Africa Group plans to invest significantly in infrastructure, including the development of luxury accommodations, recreational facilities, conference centers, and eco-friendly amenities. The project is expected to align with global environmental standards, ensuring that the natural beauty and cultural heritage of the site are preserved.
Stakeholders have lauded the initiative, calling it a model for public-private partnerships aimed at unlocking Nigeria’s vast tourism potential. As the project kicks off, the spotlight is now on Landmark Africa Group to deliver on its promises and elevate Nike Lake Resort to international acclaim.
More updates on the redevelopment plans and timelines are expected in the coming weeks. Stay tuned to Parrot Reporters as we bring you the latest on this landmark transformation.
