Fountain Holdings Limited, an investment arm of the Ekiti State Government has signed a concession agreement of Ikogosi Warm Spring Resort to a private firm that is into tourism and hospitality ‘IrinAjo’ for 15 years.

The Ikogosi resort, which was revived and fully operational during the first tenure of Governor Kayode Fayemi, was abandoned by the immediate past administration in the state until the present administration came to power again.

This agreement comes after a long search by the Fayemi administration to secure a private investor to rehabilitate and take over the operation of the Ikogosi warm spring resort.

Mr Idowu said though there are challenges, he has a masterplan to reposition the facility in two phases – first, to return it to operational capacity and to expand the facility, which will be completed before December 2021.
