The newly remodeled 100-room Hotel Presidential in Enugu, the state capital, was inaugurated by the Enugu State Governor, Peter Mbah.
Michael Okpara, the then-prime minister of the old eastern region, founded the hotel in 1963.
Mbah praised the hotel’s revitalization as a result of his campaign promise to recover Enugu’s moribund assets and boost the state’s economy in a significant way while also mentioning that the hotel had been moribund for 15 years.
He explained how a public-private partnership had been established to ensure the sustainability of class and service delivery.

Our forebears were ruled by Dr. Dr. for sixty-two years. This landmark was constructed by Michael Okpara as a testament to the resilience, elegance, and entrepreneurial spirit of the Eastern Region.
Time and neglect have progressively eroded that light. This magnificent structure has been a source of conflict for about 15 years because it goes against our pride.
We established a strong commitment to recoup the wealth of our people and turn idle assets into productive ones; transform liabilities into growth engines.
This unveiling is more important than just opening a hotel door; Enugu’s confidence is reopened as a result. When we say Enugu is open for business, we mean business, which is a tangible sign.
According to him, this hotel serves as a strategic enabler of our growth strategy, which includes the ambitious goal of doubling Enugu’s economy by at least $30 billion and achieving a poverty-free workforce rate.
He assured that the administration had put an emphasis on the hotel’s standards so that when Enugu says “welcome,” our hospitality infrastructure has the same credibility as our policies because the hotel’s renovation standards were truly world-class.
The adjacent five-star, 345-room ICC Hotel, which is under construction, will provide premium ‘keys’ for large events, according to Mbah, who stated, “Our hospitality ecosystem today is simply inspiring.
Enugu Air, which gave our dreams wings and revealed our global vision, has now been replaced with a full-service icon.
Nothing about this is spooky, really; On a large canvas, they are connecting dots. These resources are necessary to fulfill our goal of welcoming three million visitors annually to Enugu, making it Africa’s conference capital.
