My advice to Mba is let him set aside # 500 million from monthly federal allocation for this project, he should bring the building down completely and erect ten storey build with modern facilities, let it be a 5 star or 7 star hotel that will be bringing revenue to the state. He can go ahead and privatize the hotel to capable and experienced hands that understand the management of hotel business, he must sit down with them and plan how to expand the hotel across vibrant cities in Nigeria, like Lagos, Abuja, Asaba, Calabar, Owerri, Aba, Onitsha, Awka, Benin etc. they can 3-4 places in Lagos, Abuja 2-3 places etc. They draw 25-50 years plans for this business, all the profits from this business should go to hospitality sector in the state, using the money to rivve the beach around Gariki axis, water falls at Ezeagu and equally use the profits to develop strategic hills around the state, to attract more tourists, the sky will be the starting point.
Bro, Please don't pull down this hotel, just restore it. In fact this building along with similar (including surviving colonial buildings) should enjoy special government protection not to be altered in the name of modernisation. This is the practice all over the world and it enables future generations to see how their ancestors lived, their world view etc. There is plenty of room in that site to build even a 30+-story modern hotel to stand beside the old one.
Thank you Afia tv for another important matter. This hotel is where Peter mbah should have spend the money he is currently spending on the conference centre would not generate revenue. Imagine an attempt to sell part of the presidential hotel to property developer for 100 million per plot, what would he do with the money ? This shows that Peter mbah has no clue how to create jobs and move enugu forward. Since he came to power he is busy dishing out lands to the nigeria military to build military barracks as if the existing 2 barracks are not enough. The worst thing he did is given out a lake to the nigeria navy as a navy base , would you believe this madness. That lake was a recreation centre for the people of ndi enugu and has potential to generate revenue. Peter mbah, should stop selling and dishing out lands of ndi enugu. If the previouse governors did what he is doing there wouldn't be any land left for state project.
In my opinion, no part of Hotel Presidential Enugu should be sold. Instead, the hotel should be expanded to mirror what exists in Port Harcourt. Mazi Mba should also consider building an additional 25+ storey house called Enugu House on that site as well. It is time Ibos started thinking big and changing Enugu skyline. Even Lome Togo and Malabo in Equatorial Guinea have skyscrapers, so why not Enugu?.
@@LabaraNdoniaYou're making sense, I don't know how these guys called politicians think, I thought he's a business man, he should use his technical know how in business and transform his state, not selling some part of the hotel that he didn't build, it was a governor like him who came up with such idea, ordinary to maintain and improve it he can't, olodo governor.
That is why Enugwu is in a bad sharp till date even thou she is known as the capital state of the eastern region but still backward in infrastructure and otherwise. Ndi Enugwu should keep mediocrity aside and vote for competent that will take us to a higher level, yes we don't have crude oil but we have everything that can create jobs for our people and make Enugwu greater.

The hotel Presidential story is an example of why Ibo neighbours find them very difficult people. All the people involved in the saga- lease disputants, judges, governors etc are all Ibo. Yet they are all quite happy to sit and watch this hotel rot away while they argue about whatever. The underlying attitude is simply destroy it if I can't own it. The parties most probably pass by that hotel daily, see it and still do nothing. This raises the question: do Ibos have any loyalty to Iboland or not? This will never happen anywhere else in Nigeria. For example similar structures built at the same period e.g. Hamdala Hotel Kaduna, Presidential Hotel Port Harcourt are all still existing and thriving. Why is Ibo own different- wickedness, greed, indifference, carelessness or a combination? This calls for deep introspection or soul-searching. Of course you can censor this comment but what is said is said.
In as much as you are trying to make sense, you can't rubbish the Igbo race just because of common Hotel, PH that has presidential hotel, go check the number of companies that has collapsed and rotten, non of those states that you have mentioned has more functioning companies than Igboland except Lagos. Whatever you are seeing in Enugu presidential hotel is happening in every state in Nigeria in another form.
@@gsupport5264 Bro, I feel your pain, but truth can be bitter, sometimes. It is not the commenter rubbishing the Igbo race but some members of the Igbo race rubbishing everyone. Why should a group of people hijack and ruin Igbo collective heirloom just because of their quarrel about lease? For you it is "a common hotel", but do you know how many poor peasants served prison terms in the old eastern region because of failure to pay taxes? So this isn't about how many functioning companies the Igbo have at all. Igbo are not being smart by letting their inheritance atrophy and die just because others are doing it. Someone should terminate the farcical and pointless dispute for the common good.
@@RadioTV595 I'm not bitter in anyway Sir/Madam. I don't like it when someone is trying to put Igbos down because of evil politicians which are in every region in Nigeria. Let me tell you, the whole Nigeria has leadership problems. When it comes to the west, there's no vibrant state apart from Lagos, that's why the Yorubas are demolishing Igbo men houses with anger, Lagos has been colony and federal capital territory for decades, hence that status. The North is the poverty capital of Africa combined with terrorism all these is as a result of leadership failures. The whole East was brought down to rubble during the war and we have built it to this stage even better than most of the states in Nigeria, I knew very well that most of our politicians have failed us but common Igbo men are still improving and I can't sit watching someone rubbish the Igbos as if his people are better or saints. He would have put it as an African or Nigeria problem that would have been better.
@@gsupport5264 Mr Man, Ibos everywhere must continue to call out those who destroy their heritage irrespective of what other people chose to do with theirs. The names of those behind the destruction of this hotel and their collaborators should be revealed so that Ibos can size them up after they destroyed families, jobs, pensions etc. That includes also those who sit in judgement and drag important case while the disputed facility is being ruined irreversibly. In what flipping alternate universe do they live? The state should not continue to pay the salaries of so-called judges who sit on important cases indefinitely to the detriment of society. Remember, that is how they nearly ruined Prof. Nnaji's Geometric Power Plant in Aba which was completed in 2005 but was sabotaged and stalled for over 20 years by fellow Ibos until Gov Alex Otti came along. Had Otti not become Abia governor, that Aba Power plant would have remained shut until the machines become obsolete. It seems pointless explain these thing to you because you already dismissed the issue as "common hotel" which demonstrates a crass lack of understanding of the issue being discussed beyond verbiage. Suffice it to say that those who built that "common hotel" raised taxes from poor peasants- their radios, bicycles, yams etc. were all taxed to build the facility you are dissing. Just remember that before you go on about your grossly misguided defence of Ibo race.
Thank you for bringing this to the public attention hotel presidential needs to come back alive. God bless Enugu State.
Thanks for bringing this up, who ever owns it, please keep it functioning, it's the pride of igbo land,
It will be a thing of joy if the governor takes on rehabilitating hotel presidential 😊

Guy u can be brain behind mbah infrastructure development and human capital.
If only it's can be rehabilitated and add some structures and facilities that will make it Stand as one of the best hotel in Africa
@tmstms2769
Why can't he do both?
All he has to do with the hotel is partner with the private sector.
Why is this so difficult?
This hotel presidential should be pulled down and build a 10 story modern structure

Get some investors from the South West to invest in a twenty storey presidential Hotel resort property
Please fix this hotel🙏
Sell this damn thing away to a suitable investor and let everyone rest.
Any attempt by the state to run the hotel will fail.
Look at Nike lake
What useless court case is that
