Former President of Botswana, Dr. Mokgweetsi Eric Masisi, has called on African countries to preserve and invest in the continent’s natural heritage. Masisi was speaking during his recent visit to Ikogosi Warm and Cold Spring Resort in Ekiti State, Nigeria.
The former President toured the resort’s facilities and experienced the natural wonder of the warm and cold springs flowing. Masisi spoke positively about Ikogosi Warm Springs Resort, highlighting its serene environment, tourism potential, and the importance of preserving and investing in Africa’s natural heritage.
The visit underscores the resort’s positioning as a premium destination for leisure, retreats, conferences, destination weddings, and high-level diplomatic and executive visits. Under the management of Glocient Hospitality, the resort has undergone a deliberate revival, with sustained investments in infrastructure, guest experience, safety standards, and service excellence.
Speaking in an interview, Dr. Masisi also emphasised the value of tourism as a driver of economic growth, cultural exchange, and regional collaboration across Africa. His remarks align with Ikogosi’s broader vision of becoming a globally competitive destination that attracts high-value domestic and international visitors.
The presence of a respected African statesman of Dr. Masisi’s stature further elevates Ikogosi Warm Springs Resort’s profile and credibility on the global stage. It also reflects the resort’s increasing appeal to policymakers, business leaders, investors, and discerning travellers seeking authentic, world-class destinations within Africa.
