‘Tourism and culture, solution to Nigeria’s economic woes’
Published 26 Dec,2020 via The Nation - A tourism expert and founder of Aloha Hotel and Resort, Osogbo, Osun State, Otunba Soba Oyeleke has described tourism and culture as veritable tools for nation-building and good employment-generating links, if well utilized for the benefit of the youths.
Oyeleke, who is also the convener of the Kawai Hula Dance, a new dance step brought into Nigeria from Hawaii in the United States of America, stated this shortly after the Kawai Hula dance was used to entertain guests at the final burial ceremony of his father, the late Pa Israel Oyeleke, in Ororuwo, Boripe Local Government Area of Osun State.
According to him, dance and other aspects of culture can also serve means of creating a bond among citizens while at the same time serving as money-spinning ventures, if they are accorded the necessary attention they deserve.
