Cross River State Government has revamped the Obudu Cattle Ranch for tourist’s visitation. The Commissioner for Culture, Art and Tourism, Abubakar Ewa, disclosed that the ranch, a tourist attraction, located on the Obudu plateau, in Obanliku Local Council area of the State, had been in a dilapidated state throughout the tenure of the past administration of Ben Ayade. However, the current government, in partnership with the CIBA Construction Company, is restoring the former glory of the ranch to receive tourists and other visitors.
“We are doing great at the ranch, the water park is back. The mountain villa, the African hut, power and water, all have returned. Everything that is required for the takeoff of the resort is in place.”
Ewa disclosed that even the cable cars are ready, but awaiting PONNET, the company that built it, to come and recertify before it could be opened for public use.
He noted that local engineers who were trained by the company had already serviced the cable cars, but it is important for the company to certify them before it starts operation fully.
