This was made known today in Abuja following a meeting between the MD, CRS Tourism Bureau, Mr Utsu John Atsu and the Irish High Commission in Nigeria represented by Deputy High Commissioner, Mr Ronan Mullin.

A working team between both parties is to be set up immediately to exploit possibilities and actualize plans.
