General Manager, Kogi State Hotels and Tourism Board, Prince Philip Orebiyi, has urged the general public to exercise caution when dealing with Abidan 115, as it does not meet the standards and requirements expected of registered hotels in the state.
In a disclaimer signed by the Director Administration, Ebenezer Olu, the board said Abidan 115 has been operating as a hotel without its knowledge or approval.
He emphasized that Abidan 115 is not a registered hotel with the Kogi State Hotels and Tourism Board.
“The Board has not authorized Abidan 115 to operate as a hotel, and we are not aware of the services it claims to offer. We take a dim view of any establishment operating without proper registration and adherence to our standards.
“Pursuant to the powers vested in us by the Kogi State House of Assembly, the Kogi State Hotels and Tourism Board was authorized in 2022 to register and regulate the activities of hotels in Kogi State. As such, any establishment operating as a hotel in Kogi State must be registered with and adhere to the
standards set by our Board.
“This disclaimer has become necessary in light of recent events, particularly the discovery of a body at Abidan 115, believed to be a suspect in a serious crime,” the statement added.
