          The Governor said this during the celebration of the 42nd edition of World Tourism Day ,organised by the  State’s Ministry of Culture and Tourism, with the theme, “Tourism and Jobs: A Better Future for All”,  held at the June 12 Cultural Center, Kuto, Abeokuta.

          Represented by his deputy, Engr.

          The State’s helmsman noted that, his administration was committed to developing all sectors of the economy and support all enterprises that have positive impact on the economy, saying, tourism is an important pillar in good governance.

          In her speech,  wife of the State Governor and the Special Guest of Honour, Mrs. Bamidele Abiodun, said tourism should be given priority, being a source of revenue in the country and a means of employment generation, enjoining  youths to key into job opportunities  inherent in the tourism  sector.

          Chairman, House Committee on Information, Culture and Tourism, Hon.
