Gov.Godwin Obaseki of Edo has visited
the Amahor waterside to ascertain the tourism potential of two rivers
which formed a confluence at Amahor town in Igueben Local Government
Area of the state.
During the tour around the water-side,
which is located inside a forest reserve, the governor visited a rest
house used by colonial masters when they visited the water-side and
rain forest.
He said that the area, when developed,
would boost economic activities and draw tourist attraction to view
the natural wonder of the rivers that do not mix.
According to Obaseki, government is
trying to identify economic opportunities and also the land marks we
have for economic activities such as that for tourism and
agricultural production.
‘’We understand that we have a lot
of land marks and space here.
‘’Most importantly, we came here to
appreciate nature and begin to direct interest to places like this so
that people can come here for relaxation and to appreciate nature’’,
he said.
