Ekiti State Government has warned that anybody apprehended engaging in unauthorized activities and encroachment of any of the tourist sites in the state will henceforth be prosecuted in accordance with the state’s tourism law.

The State Commissioner for Information, Rt. Hon. Taiwo Olatunbosun, in a statement made available to newsmen in Ado-Ekiti, raised alarm over reports of “unlawful activities of certain individuals masquerading as “tour operators” to violate established protocols designed to protect the State’s natural landmark and tourism heritage at the Abanijorin Rock in Iyin Ekiti which is officially designated as a protected area under the State law”.

Reiterating the commitment of the State Government to the preservation of its natural and cultural heritage, Rt. Hon. Olatunbosun explained that the Tourism and Hospitality Licensing and Regulatory Law, 2020 was enacted to regulate the exploitation of the natural resources and ensure sustainable conservation initiatives to prevent unwarranted abuse.

He stressed that the Tourism apparatus in the State is well-planned and managed to protect the natural beauty of the tourist sites and would therefore not tolerate any attempt to undermine efforts at safeguarding the designated sites.

The Commissioner added that the Tourism law expressly states that “every tour business and tour activity taking place in Ekiti State shall be regulated and supervised by the Ministry” adding that it also added that “every tour operation in the State must be authorized with a valid letter of Authorization duly endorsed by the Ministry”.
