EKITI TOURISM SITES INCREDIBLE…JARU

…visits tourists at Esa cave Iyin Ekiti

The Chairman Ekiti State Petroleum Task Force, Hon. Israel Adesokan known as Juru has described the various tourism sites in Ekiti State as amazing.

According to Adesokan, many nations who now draw their income from tourism can not boast of what Ekiti is blessed with.

Adesokan spoke after visiting both Ekiti, Lagos, Delta, Gombe and Abuja tourists participating in the 5th edition of Hike Ekiti mount safari that took place at the ESA CAVE, iyin Ekiti.

A total of 500 tourists and companies including Ekiti dignitaries participated in the event.

The Hike Ekiti mount safari 5.0 that began on 1st April for the Pre-Hike and main event on 10th April provides an opportunity for Ekiti to showcase the beauty and opportunities in one of her tourism sites

Addressing newsmen at the site, the Former SSA on Internal Security stated that Ekiti state has tourism potentials that could yield enough income for the state and also generate employment if private investors and corporate bodies collaborate with the BAO administration to develop the tourism sites.

Jaru said the present Ekiti State Governor, BAO has already shown a great interest by starting from his hometown Ikogosi warm spring where serious work is on going in order to build the tourism industry of the state to become a revenue-generating sector in the state. This shows a resopnsive and responsible leader. ESA CAVE is next. Olumorock is nothing compared to what we have here in ESA CAVE, Iyin Ekiti I challenge the Ogun state government.
  
Jaru furthered that a country like Kenya relies so much on tourism to drive thier economy, 200,000 British visitors come to Kenya each year. Britain is Kenya’s second largest export partner, with trade worth Ksh130bn a year, and home to half of the top ten tax-paying companies in the country. There are many UK companies operating in Mombasa, Kenya including Seaforth, BG Group and Tullow Oil and over 14 British companies are involved in the $50million English Point Marina project.

Jaru boasted Kenya does not have as much as traditional elements and tourism sites compared to what we have in Ekiti, that when harnessed, will bring enough fund to the state, partnership with the developed countries and boost her IGR.

Hon. Adesokan said I look forward to the BAO administration collaborating with investors and corporate bodies on these beautiful tourisism sites so as to bring years of partnership, opportunities and commitment with foreign countries.
