Enugu State Govt & Landmark Africa Group To Restore Nike Lake Resort’s Iconic Status

Posted on January 20, 2025

Enugu State Government has sealed a deal with the renowned Landmark Africa Group to revamp and reposition the iconic Nike Lake Resort.

This Public-Private Partnership (PPP) marks a bold step towards achieving the administration’s vision of growing Enugu’s economy to $30 billion within the next six years.

Under this agreement, the Enugu State Government has entrusted the Nike Lake Resort as an asset, while Landmark Africa Group will invest an impressive N10 billion in the first phase to restore its past glory. This investment will bring in up to two (2) million visitors annually, create countless jobs, and significantly boost the state’s Internally Generated Revenue (IGR).

Nike Lake Resort is a jewel of the state and a symbol of its rich history and potential. By partnering with Landmark, a leader in the hospitality industry, Enugu State is setting the stage for the Resort to become a premier global destination for tourism, business, and relaxation.

This collaboration aligns seamlessly with Peter Mbah’s broader efforts to transform Enugu into a hub of opportunities. His administration has committed N800 billion this year alone to infrastructure development, including the ongoing dualisation of the Enugu-Opi-Nsukka Road, which will enhance connectivity to the Resort and foster even more investments along the corridor.

To prospective investors, the Mbah administration is extending an open invitation: Enugu is ready for business. The administration is creating an environment where businesses thrive, backed by improved infrastructure, enhanced security, and progressive governance.

Gov Peter Mbah has applauded the Founder and CEO of Landmark Africa Group, Mr. Paul Onwuanibe, for believing in his administration’s vision and for joining it in the journey to restore Nike Lake Resort’s iconic status.
