A renowned public analyst, Alhaji Dauda Lawal, has made a case for the designation of Ikogosi Warm Spring as a United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organisation World Heritage site.
He said the spring, nestled in the heart of Ekiti State, Nigeria, “has garnered worldwide attention due to its unique confluence of warm and cold springs, making it the sole destination of its kind on the planet”.
Lawal, in a statement in Ado Ekiti on Saturday, appealed to the Ekiti State Governor, Biodun Oyebanji, to use his position “to officially petition UNESCO, highlighting the invaluable significance of Ikogosi Warm Spring on the global stage”.
He stated, “As the world turns its gaze towards this geological marvel, the people of Ikogosi dream of a future where their natural wonder gains the recognition it so richly deserves.
“Should Ikogosi Warm Spring achieve the esteemed status of a UNESCO World Heritage Site, it would undoubtedly be catapulted onto the global stage as a premier tourist destination.
“This recognition would not only elevate the spring’s profile but also invigorate the local economy, fostering sustainable tourism.”
