Ambassador’s Resort & Gardens: Oasis of Tranquility And Quietness in The Food Basket of the Nation

Ambassador’s Resort & Gardens is a private initiative designed to provide world-class hospitality to tourist and visitors to Benue State. Located some 40Kilometres from Otukpo the heartland of Idoma, it has been the pride of Benue State and Nigeria as a whole.

It is a perfect getaway for business executives, families seeking to enjoy the beauties of nature and visitors from overseas.

Since its inception early this year, Ambassador’s Resorts And Gardens has helped tremendously in developing the surrounding communities by providing employment opportunities and essential rental services to people of the area, in line with Nigeria’s drive to boost Eco-tourism trade in the country.
There are many recreational centres in Nigeria but not all are geared towards making tourist and visitors see and appreciate nature at its best.

With its air-conditioned double bed en-suite, well lit and tastefully furnished chalets nestled amongst the trees and a spacious dining and relaxation area which can also be used for corporate meetings and entertainment, the resort is simply elegant.
It is not surprising that the delegation from the Federal Ministry of Culture and Tourism rated the resort as First Class tourism centre and the best in the whole of Northern Nigeria.

Quite recently, the Governor of Benue Stat His Excellency Dr Samuel Ortom represented by the Honourable Commissioner for Arts Culture and Tourism Dr Shima while speaking at the Ugboju Eje’ Alekwu Festival said “Ambassador’s Resorts And Gardens is a place to behold, a national pride and a masterpiece of hospitality at its best”. Indeed a trip to the Ambassador’s Resorts And Gardens is not only fascinating but interesting and a cherish adventure.
As one of the most exotic relaxation destinations in Nigeria, Ambassador’s Resorts And Gardens welcomes guest to an oasis of tranquility and rejuvenation. Draped in a setting of natural beauty the resort provides guest with a serene and eco-friendly environment.
Located right at the heart of Idoma, Ambassador’s Resorts And Gardens doubles as both a recreation centre and historic site, situated just a stone throw from “Obanaka” the ancestral foot of Ugboju-one of the largest District in Idomaland.

Ambassador’s Resorts And Gardens is a resort District, few minutes’ drive out of Ogoli along Onyagede Road towards Ankpa. It delivers top-class comfort and services to every guest. A visit to Ambassador’s Resorts And Gardens exposes its breath-taking architectural design, and includes; en-suite accommodation, spacious Event centre, Lawn Tennis Court, Children Playground, Multipurpose Hall, Catering services, Rental Services, Cinema, Club House, Pool (Snooker), Table Tennis, Mini Mart, Live Band, Gardens and good Packing space.

This beautiful tourist centre has an outdoor pool and playground, and guest can enjoy a drink at the bar.
These and more make Ambassador’s Resorts And Gardens a world-class edifice. All these facilities are supported by a robust 24/7 Independent Power Supply System, first-class ICT Infrastructure as well as top security.
The crux of the matter, however, is that in spite of the outstanding richness of the Ambassador’s Resorts And Gardens the bad state of theOgobia-Ankpa Federal road make the whole project almost a worthless investment and a great disincentive to tourists and visitors. This would definitely affect the revenue accruing to the proprietor of the initiative.

Earlier the Obande K’Ugboju HRH Chief Solomon Apochi call on government at all levels and other critical stakeholders to ensure that the road leading to this all-important national pride is put in proper order so as to attract more tourists and visitors, as well as boost revenue.
No doubt, the resort has put Benue State in the World Map of tourism. What is needed from the Benue State Government is to join voices with Dr Dickson Akoh the man who has brought Ugboju this honour and other critical stakeholders to ensure the rehabilitation of the Federal Road leading to the centre.

By the time this is done Ambassador’s Resorts And Gardens would become a tourist destination accessible to all lovers of hospitality and pleasure.
