Lagos Set to Make Tourism Source of Major Revenue Earner – Sanwo-Olu
The Lagos State Governor, Babajide Sanwo-Olu, on Wednesday called for collaboration among stakeholders for new ideas and strategies that will lead to the full realisation of the socio-economic potentials of the gaming, entertainment and tourism industry in Africa.
He also said despite the positive indices and its Gross Domestic Product growth, Lagos still needs investment in the entertainment and tourism sector.
Sanwo-Olu spoke on Wednesday at the ongoing Africa Gaming Expo Lagos 2024 at the Eko Hotels and Suites, Victoria Island, Lagos.
He explained that his administration has re-calibrated the thrust of tourism through the development of a Tourism Master Plan and Tourism Policy designed to make the sector not only a huge revenue earner but also a model for economic regeneration as seen in cities such as Zanzibar, Johannesburg and Cape Town.
