The Ikogosi Warm Spring, one of Nigeria’s most captivating natural attractions located in Ekiti State, continues to draw global tourism attention as the state government intensifies efforts to transform the site into a world-class eco-tourism and research destination.
According to The Guardian Nigeria (Nov. 7, 2025), the Ekiti State Government has advanced its partnership with private investors to modernize infrastructure at the resort, including new accommodation facilities, improved access roads, and enhanced environmental preservation systems. The project aims to boost both eco-tourism and scientific study of the spring’s rare geological phenomenon.
