Renovation and facelift of the Olumo Rock Tourist Complex in Abeokuta, will lead to temporary closure of the site from Monday, April 14, 2025, the Ogun State Government has said.
A statement signed by Commissioner for Culture and Tourism, Sesan Fagbayi, explained that the development was part of a broader commitment to revamp one of the state’s most iconic tourist destinations, improve visitor’s experience and to ensure safety measures during the renovation.
The commissioner said that, Olumo Rock receives over 70,000 tourists and visitors annually which needs a befitting outlook, hence the reason for the renovation.
Fagbayi also stated that the state government apologised to all tourists, visitors and the general public for any inconveniences the development might cause, adding that further updates would be communicated as work progresses.
