Plateau state has approved a new tourism policy for the state, in line with the determination of its administration to develop its tourism potentials.
This action came following a draft that was submitted by the Commissioner of the Ministry of Tourism, Culture and Hospitality in Plateau State, Mrs. Tamwakat Weli.
The draft was finally approved by the state executive council chaired by the state governor, Simon Lalong during its recent meeting. The Governor tasked the commissioner to “change the phase of tourism in the state by coming out with the necessary policy and guidelines for the development of tourism in the state”.
Mrs Weli, in reaction to the new development, expressed appreciation to the state governor for the approval, while commending every stakeholder in the creation of the draft.
“Your unflinching support towards achieving this dream for our beloved state is highly appreciated and commendable”. The Draft Tourism Policy was necessary to enable speedy growth and development of our numerous tourism endowments and potentials for the socio-economic development of our dear Plateau state”.
As a result of this new policy, the State of Tourism and Peace may be well back on its way to living up to its alias. However, the speed at which this would come int realization would depend on how far the government is willing to muster support and funding for this new policy to become a success.
