On Sunday, the 4th of April, history stirred quietly beneath the ancient hills of Nike as we — alongside the CEO of Landmark Africa, Dr Paul Onwuanibe and others ; the custodians of the iconic Nike Lake Resort — stepped into a journey that promises to reshape the landscape of tourism in Enugu State.
Guided by the visionary momentum of His Excellency, Governor Peter Ndubuisi Mbah, we traced the green spine of the Nike-Ohum Tourism Corridor — a corridor not merely of geography, but of destiny. From the rhythmic whispers of the Nike caves to the majestic gaze of the Udi escarpment, the land told stories waiting to be heard by the world.
This wasn’t just a site visit. It was a pilgrimage into promise, a handshake between heritage and opportunity. It signaled that Mbuluoweje, once a hidden jewel in the hills, is now poised to become a beacon of eco-tourism, cultural revival, and sustainable prosperity.
We went, not just with eyes open — but with hearts aligned to a future already unfolding. For indeed, tomorrow is no longer a distant horizon. It has arrived, dressed in the colors of innovation, investment, and inclusive growth.
The Governor’s transformative tourism blueprint — forged with intentionality earlier this year — is no longer ink on paper. It is spirit on terrain. And in that spirit, we walked. We envisioned a world-class tourism ecosystem — resorts nestled in nature, trails that tell stories, and villages turned vibrant through the power of shared culture and commerce.
This visit will be remembered not just as a meeting of minds, but as a turning of keys — unlocking Mbuluoweje Zone to the world.
To the people of Nike, to the youth, to investors, and to dreamers across Nigeria: prepare for the unveiling. The world is coming to Enugu, and the hills are ready to sing.
