Otu converts UJ Esuene Stadium Hostel to sports resort

The erstwhile UJ Esuene Stadium Calabar is to be converted into Calabar Sports Resort and Leisure Hotel.

Performing the groundbreaking ceremony, Governor Bassey Otu explained that his administration is poised to consolidate on the past sporting fame and current feats garnered by the state which is why it is embarking on enhancing the features of the Stadium.

He said the five-storey hostel has over 72 bed rooms but will be upgraded to 400 rooms.

The Governor said that the current remodeling initiative is in a bid to reposition the state as the national hub of sports.

Commissioner for Sports Development, Mrs Agnes Atsu, said “We are taking Cross River to its rightful position as far as sport is concerned. We want to host the world and showcase our great talents.”

She further stated that the project was coming at the right time to provide world-class accommodation for sportsmen and women during sporting activities in the State.

“We would look outside the box for investors and partnerships to take our sporting facilities to the next level. We want to attract international and national hosting rights, and we would stop at nothing to see these happen.”

Project Consultant, Mr. Sanjay Oscar said that when completed, the resort will address athletes’ accommodation issues and put the state in a vantage position to host sporting events.
