What is Oguta Lake Holiday Complex?
The Oguta Lake Holiday Complex is a lakeside resort in Oguta, Imo State, about 40 km from Owerri. It was established around the Oguta Lake Motel, a 60-room three-star hotel commissioned in 1977, and has grown into one of the largest holiday complexes in Nigeria. It offers cruise boat services, a golf club, a bar, a luxury hotel for lodging and dining, and a recreation park with playgrounds for children that have been described as reminiscent of Disneyland. It also sits at the natural confluence of Oguta Lake and the Urashi River, which is a spectacle in itself.
