Enugu Nike Lake Hotel: Board sends SOS to ECTDC as illegal structures on waterway cause overflow

The Board of Directors of Nike Lake Resort Hotel, Enugu, has sent an SOS to the Enugu Capital Territory Development Authority (ECTDA) following the blockage of the lake with illegal structures which caused an overflow at the popular ‘Omenala Bar’ section of the hotel during the last rain in the state.

The Board made the call through its Chairperson, Dame (Barr.) Ugochi Madueke, when she led other members to identify some illegal structures that are blocking the flow of water in the lake.

The structures include concrete retaining walls and buildings.

Addressing newsmen, Dame Madueke expressed concern that if urgent intervention is not carried out by the ECTDA and other relevant government agencies to remove the illegal structures and protect the lake from such avoidable overflow, a recurrence of such ugly experience may pose a threat to the hotel “which this state and entire South East geo-political zone hold in high esteem”.

The Board Chairperson noted that Governor Ifeanyi Ugwuanyi’s administration is desirous of repositioning Nike Lake Resort Hotel, Enugu, to continue to play its leading role as a tourist attraction and centre for relaxation, stressing that “any act that is capable of undermining the realization of this vision will be discouraged”.

According to her, “We are here on a rescue mission. As you can see, this is a water retainer built by whoever that owns this place. You can see “Stop Work” and “Remove” signs marked on the structure by the State Ministry of Environment on the 13th of February, 2020, and the owner has not done anything about it.

“This water retainer is stopping water from flowing in the lake. This retaining wall and other illegal structures inside and beside this lake were responsible for the recent overflow we encountered at the ‘Omenala’ Bar of this cherished hotel.

“If we don’t stop this wall now as well as other structures affecting this lake, then it is going to be a problem not just to the ‘Omenala’ Bar but also to the main hotel and we won’t allow it to happen.

“So, we are calling on the State Capital Territory Development Authority to come to our rescue and pull down these illegal structures on the waterway.

“This gas plant here, part of it is on the waterway and blocks the lake. The other buildings over there are also on the waterway and if we don’t rescue this hotel now, especially the ‘Omenala’ Bar, we are going to have a big problem.

"So, we are begging the government, we are calling on Enugu Capital Territory Development Authority to come to our rescue.

"This is a matter of urgent public interest”.

Other members of the Board who were part of the inspection include Barr. Francis Nnamani, Chijioke Jude Ugwu, Chris Ezema, Engr. Okechukwu Michael Igbonekwu, Mrs. Uche Onwuzu and HRH Igwe (Engr.) Chukwudi Ejeh.

~Building control allowed these structures to go up.

People's boundary walls you want removed?

It's better you approach drainage consultants (or me) - 'stocks & flows' is not rocket science.

This is nothing but an act of madness!

This is a matter of urgent public interest

Good job

Good JOB

Who approved the building ?
Who is the engineer that supervised the building ?
Where was the agency when the structure was erected ?

Till we start holding people accountable in this country, irrespective of class and positions, mess like this won't cease.

You will be surprise knowing the authorisation behind the approval of the illegal structure. Corrupt people everywhere.

Everything should be observed and necessary actions should be made to avert subsequent overflowing of the water. I hope it's not witch-hunting sha? Just saying.


Una good morning from Nigeria.

And

I wish you all a pleasant day ahead...

It seems you've been hiding out for the past couple of days due to the fact that i don't see your insensitive and crass comments littering the pages of every thread. Kindly do all of us a favour and go back into hiding.

Ericnrm:
Get your darling daddy to do something about it.

That is why your councilors, Local Government Chairmen, Your representatives, Your Governors will continue to loot your future and those of your unborn kids, cos you don't know your right as a citizen. You will never hold them accountable for anything, they know you will always wail Buhari, Buhari ooo on every issue.

You can go to Aso Rock with an uber to pick Buhari to go and fix a drainage in your village now.
Illiterates everywhere!

Shameless lots.

What a disappointment to your owners

What is good is good and whatever is wrong is wrong, it is not okay to me go bock drainage. So hey should do the needful before the structure start causing flood within that region when the rain fully starts. In this period of lock what are you doing with your time, do you have one if no let me show you one and if yes this is better to ventured into just click here MASTER>>>. The effect of blocking drainage way or not having drainage in your area shows when rain start, prevention is better than cure so let take not

Lmao! You're so predictable it's hilarious tbh .


Have you held your darling daddy accountable for all the relief funds currently being embezzled to the tune of billions? Well, better to be a wailer than a shameless brain dead zombie who sold his dignity a long time ago for a monthly 30k stipend. You're disgusting to a tee honestly! How do you get up so early in the morning to start defending the indefensible?

Useless state

Useless governor

Useless country

Where is the Hotel?

It is high time the authorities keep citizens in check especially in the areas of ere ting structures. People build without survey and structural plans. It is worrisome

They should do the needful before the structure cause(s) flood within that region when the rain fully starts
