Making Nigeria Great Through Tourism


Greetings everyone, I hope this message finds you well. It's been some time since I last wrote, as I have been busy with my studies in Hospitality Management and Tourism, which is ranked as the 35th most difficult course to study. The stress can be overwhelming, but I am not complaining. Today, I want to share my thoughts on Nigeria, a country with diverse ethnic groups and cultures, where despite the challenges, we continue to strive and make a global impact in entertainment, sports, and other areas.

While many criticize the President of Nigeria for being corrupt, I believe he is doing his best to lead the country. The issue lies in the fact that some of the people he surrounds himself with are not capable of carrying out their tasks. This is a problem that needs to be addressed, as Nigeria is a strong nation with abundant natural and tourism resources that can be harnessed to promote economic growth and development.

Despite the challenges of inflation, hardship, and complaints, Nigeria continues to survive and even thrive in some areas. However, we need to focus on promoting tourism and hospitality as key sectors for future growth. We have untapped tourism potentials that can create new opportunities and jobs for our citizens. We need to shift our focus from crude oil to other sectors like farming, where the government has already started offering interest-free loans for interested agriculturists. The government should also learn from countries like Dubai and China, which have successfully promoted their tourism industries.

Nigeria is blessed with vast ecotourism attractions and policies that were designed to make the country a prominent tourism destination in Africa. However, after 28 years, we are yet to see the effectiveness of these policies. This raises questions about the government's ability to implement these policies effectively. We need to foster sociocultural unity amongst the various regions of the country by promoting domestic and international tourism, and supporting our fellow citizens who are creating innovative businesses like INNOSON MOTORS, Nigeria's first automobile factory.

Tourism is a virgin industry in Nigeria with huge potential, but we are blinded by the allure of quick money from crude oil. We need to develop a proper framework to promote tourism and investment opportunities, such as overland safaris, national parks, deep-sea recreation, archaeological tours, theme parks, and expositions. However, we must first tackle the issue of insecurity in the country to make it conducive for investment and tourism. This can only be achieved through the concerted efforts of the government and its citizens.

In conclusion, Nigeria has the potential to become a top tourism destination in Africa if we harness our abundant natural and tourism resources. The government needs to provide the necessary support and infrastructure, while citizens should also play their part by promoting domestic and international tourism. We must work together to create a conducive atmosphere for investment and tourism, which will ultimately benefit us all. Thank you for reading.
