Nestled in the serene highlands of Cross River State, the Obudu Mountain Resort has long stood as a symbol of Nigeria’s natural beauty and tourism potential. Now, thanks to a bold revitalization initiative led by Sunday Michael, Special Adviser to the Governor on Obudu Ranch Resort, the resort is undergoing a remarkable transformation.

Appointed in May 2023 by His Excellency, Sen. Prince Bassey Otu, Governor of Cross River State, Sunday Michael has taken on the challenge of restoring the resort to its former glory and beyond. With the Governor’s full support, this project is not just about renovation—it’s about reimagining Obudu as a world-class destination for leisure, eco-tourism, and adventure.

A Strategic Approach to Restoration

Under Sunday’s leadership, the revitalization plan includes comprehensive upgrades to the resort’s infrastructure, hospitality services, and environmental sustainability. From modernizing guest accommodations to enhancing the iconic cable car system and nature trails, every detail is being carefully considered to meet international standards. The results are already showing. Obudu Mountain Resort was recently listed among Nigeria’s top 100 hotels with over 100 rooms—a major milestone that reflects the progress being made and the renewed interest in the resort from travelers and investors alike.

More Than a Resort; A Catalyst for Growth

This project is more than a tourism upgrade; it’s a strategic investment in the economic future of Cross River State. By attracting visitors, creating jobs, and supporting local businesses, the revitalized resort is poised to become a cornerstone of regional development. Sunday Michael’s vision, backed by Governor Bassey Otu’s commitment to tourism as a growth engine, is setting a new benchmark for destination management in Nigeria. Through collaboration with stakeholders and a focus on long-term sustainability, the Obudu Mountain Resort is being positioned not just as a getaway—but as a gateway to opportunity.

Looking Ahead

As the transformation continues, the excitement around Obudu Mountain Resort is building. With its breathtaking scenery, upgraded facilities, and renewed energy, the resort is ready to welcome the world once again.
