Reiterating his administration’s commitment to tourism development, Governor Oyebanji confirmed plans to inaugurate the Resort’s new hiking trail with a debut hike scheduled for Tuesday or Wednesday, depending on his schedule.
The Governor extended his visit to Camp A within the Resort, where he inspected ongoing civil engineering projects, particularly the drainage system. He expressed satisfaction with the pace and quality of work and indicated that further developments would follow soon.
In a show of proactive leadership, the Governor observed a vehicle descending a slope at high speed as he exited Camp A. Concerned about safety, he recommended the immediate installation of pre-fabricated speed humps as a temporary measure ahead of planned road rerouting within the Resort.
