Zamfara Govt Recovers Abuja Hotel Leased for 14 Years Without Payment
The Zamfara State Government has recovered the Stonehenge Hotel, a state-owned property in Abuja’s Central Business District, as part of Governor Dauda Lawal’s initiative to reclaim misappropriated government assets.
The hotel, leased out by the previous administration for an unprecedented 14 years without any payments to the state, is expected to generate substantial revenue, potentially in the hundreds of millions of naira, for Zamfara State.
A statement from the Zamfara State Government on Monday said the recovery aligns with Governor Lawal’s pledge to recover public assets that were misused or improperly allocated under past administrations.
“The ongoing rescue mission ensures that state-owned assets are reclaimed and utilized for the benefit of Zamfara citizens,” the statement added.
The government emphasized its commitment to ensuring accountability and protecting public resources, promising further updates as investigations into the matter progress.
The recovery of Stonehenge Hotel marks a significant milestone in the state’s broader effort to improve financial management and boost internally generated revenue.
