Motel Benin Plaza which operated for some six decades before it packed up about two years ago is gradually coming back to life.
For the past two years that it went underground as a result of poor management occasioned by deteriorating equipments, poor services etc the facility was ‘attacked’ by scrap metals scavengers (iron kwandem) who laid the place bare picking whatever is available.
Now the dilapidated facility, which is situated directly opposite the expansive mansion of Chief Gabriel Igbinedion, the Esama of Benin, in GRA Benin, has been bought by a new investor for ₦5billion and work has commenced in clearing the debris that settled in after the vandalism that was visited on it by the scavengers et al.
Stay tuned for more on this in the days ahead.
