The Minister of Information and Culture of Nigeria, Alhaji Lai Mohammed, said that the country is all prepared for the 61st edition of the UNWTO Commission for Africa (CAF) meeting, which Nigeria will host from coming Monday in Abuja. The Minister said this in Benin, Edo State when he paid a courtesy/promotional visit to the state Governor, Mr. Godwin Obaseki.
“Your Excellency, with the support of many stakeholders, I can boldly say that we are ready to host a very successful meeting. The various committees and sub-committees that we have put together to prepare for the summit are doing a great job. We will not disappoint,” Mohammed said.
Alhaji Mohammed praised Benin City, and said that it is a repository of rich culture, and cannot be ignored in terms of global tourism meeting; hence, it is his decision to visit the city as part of the ongoing nationwide advocacy tour for the meeting.
Mohammed said that the meeting will provide Nigeria with the unique opportunity to showcase her rich culture to the rest of the world, besides exploring the theme: Tourism Statistics: A Catalyst for Development, to generate the much-needed statistics for the development of the tourism sector in Nigeria.
“For Nigeria, this is a great opportunity. In addition to the socio-economic gains, the event will put Nigeria, and the nation’s tourism industry in particular, on the world map, attract foreign research experts and promote the necessary network that will form the basis for future cooperation. Nigeria will also get a rare opportunity to showcase itself to the world: Its tourist attractions, rich culture, as well as its music and films, which have become the toast of the world,” Mohammed said.
