He emphasised that “We are witness to the fact that His Excellency’s strong disposition as agent of peace, as showcased in his mantra of people’s first and season of sweetness is not lip service as we are enjoying peace, as well as experiencing a new surge of private sector driven investments in the state, especially in tourism and its related sectors.”

According to him, the Ministry is into community-based tourism and is ready to ensure the environments where our tour sites are located are safe and visitor-ready, revealing the near-ready completion state of Qua Falls.
