The Commissioner for Culture and Tourism, Dame Ugochi Madueke, announced the plans after the weekend’s Executive Council meeting, according to a statement by the Governor’s media aide, Dan Nwomeh.
Madueke mentioned that the investments are aimed at showcasing Enugu’s natural beauty while offering visitors unique and memorable experiences. The 600-metre canopy walkway will be constructed at the Nsude Pyramid site, making it the longest in the country when completed.
The 300-metre zipline will be installed at Ngwo Pine Forest, which will position Enugu as the first state in Nigeria to offer a full-scale zipline tourism attraction.
Other sites earmarked for development include Awhum Waterfall, where plans are underway to build an additional canopy walkway and boardwalk.
