Gani Adams stresses importance of aviation, tourism to national growth

The National Coordinator of Oodua Peoples’ Congress (OPC), Chief Gani Adams, has called on  the Federal Government to woo investors that would assist in unlocking the country’s aviation and tourism potential for subsequent national growth.

Making the appeal at the international wing of the Murtala Muhammed Airport on his way to Saudi Arabia for lesser hajj, Adams equally tasked the Nigerian government to create a synergy between the aviation, tourism and cultural industries in line with what is obtained in other climes.

Adams cited the Asian and Middle East countries of Japan, China, Indonesia, Taiwan, Saudi Arabia, United Arab Emirates as regions that have used their aviation industry to draw visitors to earn foreign exchange in their culture and torusim industries.

According to the OPC leader, the restructuring of the polity into various federating units to be grouped as regions would hasten the efforts to harness the dormant potentials in the country for economic growth.

Giving strength to regions with unique cultural and tourism potentials according to Adams would spur them to effectively unlock such potentials for the growth and development of their citizens.
