August 05, (THEWILL) – Not many know that long before he was crowned, His imperial majesty, the Ooni of Ife, Oba Enitan Adeyeye Ogunwusi, (Ojaja II) was a big player in the real estate sector and owns the very popular Inagbe Resort and Leisure, a hidden paradise on Inagbe Island, which is situated directly opposite Snake Island, about 15 minutes from Victoria Island.
In a bid to give the people of Ile-Ife, the opportunity to experience a real resort, the monarch replicated the facility on Ile-Ife soil, but without a beach and a jetty. To make up for the absence of a beach, the Ile-Ife Grand Resort and Leisure, which is located beside the tollgate on the Ife-Ibadan expressway, boasts multiple industrial parks producing many industrial and agricultural products as well as rendering essential services to the resort, the Ife community and Nigeria at large. This is aside the well furnished lodging facilities. The resort also has a 3,000- capacity Meeting Incentives Conference and Event Centre, branded ‘Ojaja Arena’, basically for the training and manpower development of Nigerian youths. This is in consideration of Ife having about 20 tertiary institutions: universities, polytechnics, colleges of education and nursing schools, as well as an 18-hole golf course and several other facilities on the grounds of the expansive resort.
