•Eyes Globaly Recognition For Patigi Regatta.
Kwara State Governor Abdulrahman Abdulrazaq is intensifying efforts to rebuild the long-abandoned Patigi Regatta Motel located in Patigi local government area of the state.
The reconstruction of the Patigi Regatta Motel was started few months ago and will be delivered with classic rooms, VIP suites, a conference hall, a restaurant, courtyards, shopping areas, expansive parking space and more.
Located along Kpada Road (Federal Road) and 1500m from Kusogi Park in Patigi town, the completion of the iconic Motel will help solve the problem of accommodation during the historical Patigi Regatta Festival in the town.
Founded in 1949, the Patigi Regatta Festival is a boating event featuring boating races, fishing and swimming. The festival is attended by tourism enthusiasts within and outside the State and country. However, the issue of accommodation during the festivity calls for concern.
With the ongoing efforts to rebuild the Motel, Governor Abdulrazaq aims to provide quality accommodation for visitors, enhance the overall tourist experience, create jobs and boost the State’s internally generated revenue.
Additionally, the Governor aims to restore a sense of pride and heritage in the State and put the Patigi Regatta Festival on the global map just like other cultural and traditional festivals in the state.
