Ezenwo Nyesom Wike, Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), officially opened the Sunrise Waterpark, a top-notch amusement park that is claimed to be the largest in West Africa. The vast establishment atop Asokoro Hill offers a commanding view of Mogadishu Barracks, Abuja, and the surrounding city center. The minister stated that the Waterpark's construction—which is also hailed as the most cutting-edge in the sub-region—is evidence of the FCT's thriving and promising tourist industry.
He praised Sunrise and Nadeem Group of Companies for their steadfast dedication and vision in executing the project and seeing it through to completion in the Federal Capital Territory. He said that the foreign cash that would be saved by the construction of the Waterpark would also be better used in other areas of the Territory's economy, relieving citizens of the need to travel outside of the city or even the nation to unwind and have fun. In addition to advising the park's administrators to uphold a very high level in their operations to promote patronage from the city's citizens and indeed the surrounding community, Wike advised people of the Federal Capital Territory to visit the Waterpark and enjoy the joys it has to offer.
"The FCT has several locations that might develop into popular tourist destinations. These include the Ushafa Pottery Center, the Yaba fishing site—where, I believe, the FCT fishing festival was held—and not the Millennium Tower project. "Seeing private sector investors visit these areas and breathe new life into them would be a pleasure." We are still available to talk about potential incentives for investment. According to Wike, we want to see Abuja develop and reach its full potential in this area.
The Nadeem Group of Companies' Chairperson, Tania Khalaf, stated in her remarks that the firm has spent the last ten years following the vision and passion of its founder, Saed Khalaf, toward innovative, high-quality, and vision-driven building ideas, which have been applied to the Sunrise Waterpark. According to Khalaf, the Waterpark's landscaping strategy was meticulously thought out to provide open vistas and highlight Abuja's distinct beauty. She stated, "It is one of the few water parks in the world that is perched on a hill and provides breathtaking views of the city." Khalaf expressed hope that the recreation facility will strengthen friendships and family ties while also bringing in international investment and employment to the Federal Capital Territory.
