BEVERLY HILLS, April 10, (THEWILL) – Lagos State Ministry of Arts and Culture has identified new tourism locations after top officials embarked on a two-day tour across the Badagry and Epe waterways corridors and identified new tourism locations.
The Commissioner for Tourism, Arts and Culture, Uzamat Akinbile-Yussuf, who led the officials of the Ministry on the tour, explained that the trip was necessitated by the need to explore the waterways and make them viable and sellable assets to tourists visiting the State.
She said the new tourism locations discovered in Olomo-metta and Ilase riverine communities would be nurtured and developed by the State Government.
“We are looking at having a befitting jetty at Gberefu in Badagry. The Lagos Theatres are in the two communities, Badagry and Epe, so the next step we are taking now is how to ensure we make them tourism products”, the Commissioner said.
She added that the state government would improve the infrastructure at Gberefu and ensure that the Jetty is of international standards, promising to equip the slave market at Vlekete and Heritage Museum as well.
