Vice President Yemi Osinbajo yesterday in Abeokuta commissioned the Conference Hotel and Suites, a new hotel built by the former governor of Ogun State, Otunba Gbenga Daniel, eight years after it was locked down by the Ibikunle Amosun administration.
Prof Osinbajo was at the commissioning with former governor of Ogun State, Chief Olusegun Osoba, Governor Dapo Abiodun and his wife Bamidele Abiodun, the deputy Governor, Noimot Salako-Oyedele and Daniel’s age-mates in Ijebuland’s Egbe Bobakeye.
Other dignitaries present include Senator Musiliu Obanikoro, former Ogun deputy-governor Salmot Badru, Erelu Abiola Dosunmu, traditional Rulers, archbishops and many more.
Recall that completion of works on the hotel was delayed for eight years by the Amosun administration, who also snubbed court orders to vacate stoppage of work at the site.
At the ceremony, Osinbajo said that the location of the facility in Abeokuta would attract international conference organisers desirous of serenity and tourism potentials.
In his remarks at the event, Otunba Gbenga Daniel said said the project was his contribution towards the growth of the tourism industry. OGD had earlier said he has forgiven those who locked the hotel up for 8 good years.
The newly-opened hotel has 200 exotic rooms and 2 presidential suites.
