Lanre Balogun, general manager, Glocient Hospitality, made the call as a panellist at the National Hospitality and Tourism Stakeholders Forum, which was held in Abuja recently.
At a session, which emphasised innovative financing models, infrastructure expansion, and cross-sector partnerships as key drivers of long-term industry growth, Balogun highlighted the critical role of strategic investment in unlocking the full potential of Nigeria’s tourism ecosystem.
At the forum, the general manager also used the sustained investment at Ikogosi Warm Springs Resort, which is part of the company’s commitment to advancing the hospitality sector, as a case study. He also spotlighted the resort as a leading destination for Meetings, Incentives, Conferences, and Exhibitions (MICE) in Nigeria.
Nestled in a serene natural environment and globally renowned for its unique warm and cold spring confluence, Ikogosi offers a distinctive blend of business and leisure. The resort provides modern conference facilities, executive accommodation, wellness experiences, and immersive nature-based activities—making it an ideal choice for corporate retreats, leadership off-sites, and high-level strategy sessions.
“Beyond its natural appeal, Ikogosi represents the future of integrated hospitality—where infrastructure, sustainability, and experience design converge to support both business objectives and wellbeing,” Balogun noted.
With increasing demand for destination-driven corporate experiences, Ikogosi Warm Springs Resort is strategically positioned to attract local and international organisations seeking a premium MICE location outside traditional urban centres. Its accessibility, secure environment, and curated guest experiences make it a compelling alternative for organisations looking to combine productivity with rejuvenation.
Glocient Hospitality continues to play a pivotal role in shaping Nigeria’s hospitality landscape by managing and developing high-value assets, driving operational excellence, and fostering partnerships that elevate the industry’s global competitiveness.
