What do you expect when you place a round peg in a round hole? It fits! That’s the summary of happenstances at the Nigerian Tourism Development Corporation where seasoned politician, Folly Coker is doing the yeoman’s job.
The owner of Brown’s Cafe and former Lagos State Commissioner for Arts and Culture who got the baton of leadership of the NTDC from Sally Mbanefo has started on a good note, injecting fresh ideas to the corporation.
One of his recent innovations is the ‘Tour-Nigeria’, a brilliant initiative to rejuvenate the seemingly docile tourism atmosphere.
The DG of NTDC described the Tour-Nigeria as a tourism revolution which will be embraced by every conscious Nigerian and which will enable the country to reap its own gain from the global tourism revenue.
Folly disclosed that places like Aso rock villa, Mapo Hall, Epe prison where Chief Obafemi Awolowo was imprisoned, Zungeru where late Nnamdi Azikiwe was raised, Nigeria-Biafran war sites, the war museums, Slave trade museum in Badagry and others would be promoted and enhanced for visiting.
