The FGEHA has made this decision in line with the vision of the federal government to utilize the state land for the generation of revenue. The authority will not only construct the five-star hotel but also intends a second 40-feet-wide loop to improve traffic flow, making the location much easier to access. The plot of the authority would be auctioned through an international auction which would ensure the highest possible price for the plot. The hotel is planned to be built in the developed area of the housing authority.
