The Federal Government has handed over the Presidential Lodge, Marina, to
the Lagos State Government in fulfillment of the promise of President Muhammadu
Buhari to entrust the edifice to the state for tourism development.
In a press release signed by the
Chief Press Secretary to the Governor, Habib Aruna, noted that in a brief but
impressive ceremony held at the main conference room of the Lodge, the Federal
and Lagos State governments signed a Memorandum of Understanding formally
transferring ownership of the edifice to Lagos State Government.
Speaking at the ceremony, Secretary
to the State Government, Tunji Bello who led the State officials including
members of the State Executive Council, promised that the State Government
would not compromise its structural integrity while preserving the
architectural finesse and beauty.
He stressed that the edifice will
become one which residents of Lagos and Nigerians in general would not only be
proud of but which compares to similar ones in distant locations, assuring
Lagosians that the State will put the edifice to the best and most judicious
use.
