The Director General of the Standard Organisation of Nigeria (SON), Dr. Paul Angya, has said that Nigeria can rake in billions of dollars from tourism and hospital industry sector.According to him, the government is determined to develop tourism as a means of growing the country’s economy, noting that Nigeria was ready to take her share of the global trillion dollars tourism investments.
He said “As Nigeria diversifies its economy from oil, tourism and its related activities can be one of the game changers for foreign exchange earnings, job creation, infrastructure development and business,”
The SON DG said World Economic Forum (WEF) report in 2015 showed that West African countries are among the least in global tourism, stating that poor performance in Africa could be adduced to limited accessibility in terms of airline traffic, shortages of hotels and other lodgings, skilled staff, inadequate service and security concerns.
