Following the launch of the Ecogenesis Incubator Programme in Ekiti State, Minister of Tourism Lola Ade-John has described Ikogosi Warm Springs Resort and Conference Center as a standout tourist destination.
History Of The Resort – Presently
After Rev. McGee left Ikogòsì Warm Springs, the problem of who would manage the Resort arose. Before long, the once well-manicured lawns and environment became overgrown with bush. Several ornamental plants and fruit trees became abandoned. Squirrels, snakes, and lizards took over the rooms.
History of the Resort – 1952
In 1952, Southern Baptist missionary, Rev. John Sydney McGee, from his mission base in Igede, Ekiti, went to the source of the warm and cold springs despite several dissuasions and warnings by locals that a visit to the source of the springs is an invitation of death from the ‘forces’ surrounding these unusual springs.
