GATEWAY HOTEL OTA SET FOR FACELIFT AS DAPO ABIODUN ANNOUNCES REHABILITATION PLANS

Dapo Abiodun, the Governor of Ogun state has expressed the readiness of his administration to resuscitate the moribund Gateway Hotel, Ota.

The Governor made this known when responding to the presentations by the officials of the Ministry of Housing and related agencies at the Treasury Board Meeting held on Wednesday at th Obas Complex, Oke-Mosan, Abeokuta.

He described the current state of the once viable hotel as an eyesore, saying something urgent must be done to address the situation.

Abiodun who decried the total abandonment of the hotel despite its strategic location, said his administration was poised to rehabilitate and bring it back to its former state, as demanded by the people of Ota, during the town hall meeting on the 2023 appropriation budget.

The state helmsman, however, expressed displeasure that the hotel which was once a pride of the state is now a den for criminals, directing the Ministry of Housing to include the total rehabilitation of the edifice in its budget proposal for necessary action.
