Chidoka Osita, one time Nigeria's FRSC Boss and Aviation Minister was at Miango Rest Home for the First time. Here is what he has to say:
A Day in Miango, A Vision for Nigeria
I had a great time today at the Miango Rest House, Bassa LGA, where the Centre facilitated the Plateau State Government Local Government Executive Councils Retreat.
I was honoured to deliver the keynote address and return to Abuja alongside His Excellency, Gov. Caleb Mutfwang.
This was my first visit to the serene and historic Miango Rest House, which quietly tells a century-old story of Nigeria’s potential. Breathtakingly beautiful, with a quaint and restorative charm, it is a hidden national treasure.
Over 100 years old, Miango Rest House symbolises what is possible when we preserve and invest in our own.
If I were President of Nigeria, I would either acquire Miango Rest House or build a Presidential Retreat in Bassa — a sanctuary for deep thinking, quiet reflection, and national renewal.
The Presidential Retreat will save Nigeria the cost, indignity and symbolism of presidential tourism in Europe.
The Plateau story is unfolding with clarity and purpose, and I’m proud that Athena Centre for Policy and Leadership is walking that journey alongside a visionary leader.
