Uncovering the Billions of Hidden Revenue in Delta State’s Tourism
Delta State has the highest possible Tourism IGR in the region, yet it is hardly tapped into or cultivated. What are these unexplored sites, archeology and opportunities? We take a deep dive with Pelu Awofeso on a fast track across Tourism in Nigeria
A special LightRay Media Podcast with award winning CNN-MultiChoice Travel Journalist of the Year, Pelu Awofeso and Mutli Award Winning Broadcast Specialist and Investigative Journalist, Ejiro Umukoro unravels the new crude in Delta State that is untapped, under explored and mismanaged.
From the Landers Brothers Anchorage and other historical sites scattered across the state from Isokoland, to Ndokwa, Anioma, Urhboland, Greater Warri and other riverine communities in Ijawland that could rake in more than 3.5% of the country’s budget that runs into several billions, they navigate into the revenue income from cross state travels, hospitality, water transportation and its many ports in Warri, Asaba, Escravos, etc., that do not rake revenue directly into the Delta States coffers.
How can Delta State Government, its State Assembly, and the future commisioners to be appointed into key administrative positions in the ministry of works, housing, development agencies, culture and tourism begin to think outside the box?
