Kwara State Government has commenced reconstruction works on the long abandoned Patigi Regatta Motel in Patigi town, opening a new frontier in the state’s aggressive tourism drive.
Speaking on the reconstruction, Commissioner for Business, Innovation and Technology (BIT) in the State, Damilola Yusuf said work would span eight months with shopping areas and expansive parking space.
Yusuf pointed out that the Motel features standard rooms, VIP suites, conference hall, restaurants, and courtyards, among others.
She explained that government is embarking on the total overhaul and remodelling of the existing structures to expand the tourism potentials of the state, generate jobs, and improve the current revenue generation drive of the state.
The Commissioner said the facility would come handy once the Annual Patigi Regatta and fishing festival is revived for recreational purposes in that axis of the state.
Patigi Regatta is located along Kpada Road (Federal Road) and 1500m from Kusogi Park in Patigi town, Patigi Local Government of Kwara State.
