Tourism investment key to national economic development, says Varsity don

A Professor of Tourism and Hospitality Management at the Ekiti State University Ado Ekiti, Prof. Funso Isolaowa Afolabi, says tourism has a major role to play in the development of the country’s economy.

He warned the Federal Government against over reliance on oil earning that it may dry up some day, saying the country’s economy stands the chance of being ruined, with decline in daily crude production due to the drying off of oil wells without commensurate efforts to diversify the economy. He said : “The Federal Government is not doing enough to diversify the economy away from oil. I don’t know what Nigeria will become when this oil dries off. We have to plan ahead and I don’t think it was right for us to have neglected other sector like tourism, this is sad.
