Tourism entrepreneur urges Niger Delta governors to embrace Eastern tourism enterprise resource
Tour ism entrepreneur, Chibuzor Onyema has advocated an Eastern Nigeria Tourism Enterprise Resource ( ENTER) as a blueprint for South-east and SouthSouth governments for the development of the zones.
Onyema stated that this would serve as a strategic complement or alternative to oil as a mono economic source for the zones’ development.
Addressing a virtual press conference, Onyema who is one of Nigeria’s brightest brains in domestic and international tourism operations describes the domestic tourism Enterprise Resource as capable of creating initial minimum 1000 jobs across SouthSouth and South-east States, and indeed other Northern and South-western States if well implemented.
“Since international tourism is no longer viable”, he noted, the Eastern Nigeria Tourism Enterprise Resource projects was an innovative way by which the NigerDelta could translate the outcome of the Coronary Virus Pandemic into good fortunes.
“It highlights already existing natural endowments awaiting full scale domestic and international tourism utilisation - areas it describes as highly sought-after by international tourism development experts seeking to provide required financing for full construction and implementation of the low hanging fruit tourism projects”.
“My eleven years of continuous engagement as an internationally certified tourism operator in the United States of America, Southern Africa and locally with Nigerian Tourism Development Corporation (NTDC) gave me a bird’s eye view that underscored this research. This could allow for maximum job creation and effective youth engagement,” he stated.
Re acting to the development, the Igwe of Orlu ancient Kingdom of Imo State Patrick Acholonu, who graced the press conference, endorsed the project and congratulated the founder of the ENTER, Onyema for his foresight.
