The gubernatorial candidate of the New Nigeria People’s Party (NNPP) in the last general elections in Ogun State, Ambassador Olufemi Ajadi Oguntoyinbo, has jetted out to the East African country of Tanzania on a weeklong holiday with his family.

Ajadi, speaking to reporters at the airport, called on the government to diversify the nation’s economy.

He said diversifying the economy and significantly improving hospitality and tourism would improve economic growth and development.

He illustrated the country’s abundance of natural tourist sites, adding that improved infrastructure, security, and corporate image would consistently attract an avalanche of tourists and a massive foreign exchange inflow.

Ajadi then implored the government to commit to improving the sector to tap the inherent benefits.

The NNPP standard bearer in Ogun State is billed to visit some historic sites and monuments in Tanzania, including its vast wilderness areas, the plains of Serengeti National Park, a safari mecca populated by the “big five” (elephant, lion, leopard, buffalo, rhino), and Kilimanjaro National Park, home to Africa’s highest mountain.

While describing hospitality and tourism as a goldmine sector waiting to be tapped, Ajadi maintained that it is hightime the Nigerian government diversified the economy away from crude oil.

He said, “Government at all levels should explore all the potentials in hospitality and tourism for economic development and growth.

“It is a multifaceted and multidimensional activity. It is not just about fun, it is business, and government should look at the business aspect. It makes more money than most other industries.

“Saudi Arabia has more oil than Nigeria, yet it is investing massively in hospitality and tourism, increasing its income net.

Also, in China, there is a place called Old City where their Emperor used to stay; it has now been turned around as a tourism resort yielding huge income.

“Dubai’s economy depends on hospitality, and there is no reason Nigeria cannot explore her potential.

“I want us to join hands to improve and invest into hospitality and tourism because oil is finishing. Nigeria is rich in tourism sector that can yield good return on investment.

“Every state should develop its hospitality, tourism and culture, rather than wait for stipend from federal government, they can actually make lots of money from those sectors.

“Every local government area you go in Nigeria, particularly in Ogun state, there is an investible hospitality and tourist potential, they are consumed at source.

“Those sites, like hills, historical structures and other natural habitats, cannot be moved to other locations; putting hospitality offices into areas will boost the economy of those areas, and the local communities will always benefit if the potentials are well taped.

“It is the only viable alternative to oil, and the government should place more priority on hospitality, tourism and culture. Many countries in which Nigeria is even more endowed are earning immense benefits from hospitality and tourism. Nigeria is so endowed in that sector, looking at the cultural diversity and the natural environment.’’
