It is being managed by MP Hotels, an internationally acclaimed firm in the hospitality industry.

The facility has over the year, enjoyed patronages from tourists and corporate institutions.

A similar project called “ Government VIP Chalets” in Badagry is currently being rehabilitated and will be commissioned by the Governor soonest.

The government is also planning to establish several models across the state.
