The Governor of Anambra State, Willie Obiano, has vowed to transform the historic Ogbunike Cave in Ogbunike town, Oyi Local Gov­ernment Area of the state to a first class tourist haven.

 Governor Obiano, who stormed the an­cient cave with select members of his cabi­net maintained that his administration would transform the cave into a first-class leisure cen­tre with modern facili­ties and a five-star hotel located within the area.

 Addressing the press at the entrance to the cave along with the current Miss Tourism, Queen Collette Nwa­dike, the governor said the proposed resort would incorporate a modern recreational fa­cility for children and all the facilities that would make for a per­fect holiday getaway.

 Explaining that the cave had been desig­nated a world heritage site by the UNCES­CO, Governor Obiano said his administration would strive to acquire the surrounding areas of the cave and ensure the preservation of its pristine outlook.

 Earlier, the governor had flagged off con­struction work on the Ugwu-Nwasike-Azu-Ogbunike-Azu-Ama­wa-Osile-Ifite-Umueri-Saint Monica College Ogbunike Cave road and promised that more roads leading to the heritage site would soon be flagged off as well.

 He restated his ad­ministration’s resolve to re-introduce leisure and recreation into the lives of Ndi Anambra, adding that work had reached advanced stage on the construction of the Agulu Lake Hotel Resort in Anaocha Lo­cal Government Area as well as the three ul­tramodern shopping malls currently being built in the state.

 According to him, the government would in addition, revamp the ancient Igboukwu bronze and Nka metal work and build mod­ern roundabouts in the various cities and com­munities in the state, depicting what each community was known for.

 “We shall re-inte­grate aesthetics and beauty into our cities and our environment. We shall make Anam­bra beautiful again,” he said, adding that plans were underway to set aside a week in Decem­ber for the celebration of the cultural heritage of the people in the lo­cal government areas of the state. He called on Nigerians in the Dias­pora and Ndi Anambra abroad to come home and contribute to ongo­ing efforts to build the state.

 Earlier in his remarks on the construction of the access road to the cave, the Commission­er for Works, Callistus Ilozumba, recalled that the eight-kilometre road which links Oyi and Idemili North local government areas of the state was awarded at N1.4 billion and had a completion period of 18 months.

 He assured that the ministry would sustain strict supervision and urged the benefitting communities to report any attempt to endan­ger the road to the ap­propriate authorities.

 Also speaking, Miss Tourism Nigeria, Miss Collette Nwadike, from Nise, Awka South Lo­cal Government Area of the state who accom­panied the governor to the cave noted that the completion of the road would enhance the de­velopment of Ogbunik cave.
