Ashimolowo’s N6bn-valued Makarios Launched Spectacularly in Lagos

The biggest spectacles come from the most unexpected places. The recent unveiling of the Makarios Aquatic Park in Lagos marks such a spectacle, especially with Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu and distinguished guests marvelling at the park’s grandeur. Developed by Pastor Matthew Ashimolowo, this N6 billion marvel stands as sub-Saharan Africa’s first multi-sensory aquatic park. It is also a testament to Ashimolowo’s visionary leadership and entrepreneurial prowess.

From his humble beginnings as a clergyman to his current stature as a revered pastor and astute businessman, Ashimolowo’s journey is one of resilience and innovation. As the founder of Kingsway International Christian Centre (KICC) and Chairman of Makarios Luxury Properties Limited, he has clearly transcended conventional boundaries and is now reshaping Nigeria’s leisure landscape with his audacious vision.

As news of the Makarios Aquatic Park spreads, it’s inevitable that some eyebrows will be raised at the notion of a pastor spearheading such a grand venture. Yet, amidst the scepticism, one cannot help but marvel at the audacity and entrepreneurial spirit displayed by Pastor Ashimolowo.

The Makarios Aquatic Park, with its captivating blend of water, sound, and light, offers an unparalleled entertainment experience to any guest, newcomer to luxury or old hand. Its symphony of water displays which are responsive to musical rhythms and illuminated by laser lights, simply mesmerises. Both lights and sounds clearly offer something more than mere leisure, going as far as evoking a sense of wonder and awe.

But beyond its entertainment value, the park symbolises Ashimolowo’s unwavering commitment to societal progress. Certainly, it can catalyse economic growth and social development since Ashimolowo has always been vocal about sustainable urban living. Therefore, as the park opens its doors to the public, it heralds a new era of possibilities, where dreams are transformed into reality, and imagination knows no bounds.
