Jos: Gov. Caleb Mutfwang of Plateau on Wednesday has moved to revive the State’s moribund hotels in a bid to revitalize the tourism sector.
The move saw Governor Mutfwang inspect the ongoing remodeling of the Plateau and Hill Station hotels, where he described the two facilities as “iconic,” disclosing that the move was part of the ongoing efforts to reposition the state as a premier destination for leisure and investment.
The two facilities are located in Jos, the capital of Plateau and are owned by the state government.
“The history of Plateau is tied to assets like these. This is why our administration is pursuing strategic partnerships with private investors to reduce dependence on public funds while ensuring long-term sustainability.
“God helping us, a significant portion of the Plateau hotel project is expected to be completed and ready for use by Dec. 1,” he said.
The governor, who expressed satisfaction with the quality of work so far done, however, tasked the team handling the projects with professionalism.
He reiterated his administration’s unwavering commitment to restoring the state’s image as the home of peace and tourism by reviving the hospitality and tourism sector.
Mr Kudla Satumari of the Aviare Global Concept Ltd, the firm handling the Plateau hotel project, promised to deliver the project within specification.
On his part, Mr Okechukwu Izeogu, Project Manager of Hillside Hospitality Ltd, the firm handling the hill station hotel project, said that the project was already 45 per cent completed.
