Tinapa Resort Calabar, A 400 Million Dollar Luxury Resort Coming Back To Life
This is Tinapa, Calabar, South South Nigeria.
Once hailed as Africa's premier business and luxury resort, Tinapa was a vision of grandeur and prosperity. Nestled in the lush landscapes of Cross River State, Nigeria, this $350 million project was set to revolutionize commerce and tourism."
Initiated by Governor Donald Duke, Tinapa was designed to be a commercial powerhouse, drawing in millions of dollars and attracting visitors from across the globe.
But behind the scenes, crippling bureaucracy, Customs barriers, legal uncertainties, and a lack of political will turned this dream into a nightmare.
As if things couldn't get worse, the End SARS protests in 2020 saw Tinapa ravaged by looting and destruction, leaving it a shadow of its former self.
But hope is on the horizon. With new leadership and a $3.5 billion investment for the Bakassi Deep Sea Port, Tinapa is poised for a resurgence. Can this ambitious project rise from the ashes and reclaim its place as Africa's premier business and luxury resort?.
Join us on TV Afrique Networks, as we uncover the full story of Tinapa – its rise, its fall, and its potential rebirth.
