“The hotel was offered for outright sale at N2.1 billion and it is built with modern day facilities and tasteful furnishings. However, after intensive negotiations and advice from the consortium of three valuation consultants engaged by the directorate, the price was slashed to N1.8 billion.
“We wrote His Excellency, the Governor for approval, which he did but requested we must ensure due process.”
The purchase of the hotel, according to her will balance off in five years and will be a source of revenue generation for the state.
