The conversation and call to policymakers in Nigeria to make tourism more economically viable, resilient and less dependent on crude oil production has for some time been raised by pundits from diverse intellectual and professional backgrounds. .     The crux of their charge is for the state to pay more attention to the Non-Oil sector. One of the sectors suggested for exploration and development is the artistic, culture and tourism endowments of Nigeria if we are indeed serious about sustainable job creation, non oil revenue generation and incalculable implications on commercial and general economic development. Interestingly, a crop of progressively inclined personnel both at the government level and private players in the art, culture and tourism space in Ekiti-State took up the challenge in the face of humongous traditional hindrance.  The clarity and nobility of her tourism development vision happily found a warm reception in the Dr Kayode Fayemi led administrati...

It is envisaged  that with passage of time, larger societies would  begin to embrace and grapple with the critical challenges of  implementing the core ethos of Inclusion and Diversity, particularly for developing countries.  Dissecting empiri...
