Its quite a disgrace, studying Tourism management outside Nigeria and when important information is needed through weblinks to our tourism board for any class presentation or project work/assignment, it just gets virtually impossible to get any info. from any weblink, even the official website is a digrace to use for a class presentation, other countries that even have no natural attractions like we do are far ahead in propagating what they have built, whereas we learn a lot of money is being spent on Tourism development from every State of the country. At least, the reputation determines first what our country looks like. Where is all the money going? When do we start getting a figure to behold? This is dishearting!!!

The Nigeria Tourism Dev. Corp (NTDC, long name but zero achievments) epitomises Obasanjo's failure to appoint competent and envisioned people to head agencies critical to development.
The website has been and continues to be extremely useless, not adding value to online info on Nigerian sites of interest, etc. The Hotels and cities sections are bad links since 2004.
Runsewe (NTDC's head) has been talking about classifying Nigerian hotels since 2005, but this has not seen the light of the day nor will it ever do while a fat corrupt man like him is in charge.
The final joke summing up the OBJ's regime treatment of the strategic tourism sector is the appointment of BORISHADE as culture and tourism minister.
Nigeria will learn one day to capitalize on its endless natural and cultural resources, but not before Obasanjo and his chronies are replaced.
Kudos go Cross River, Bauchi, and Plateau states for taking a proactive approach and setting up their own initiatives that work. This is because running a tourism industry depends first and foremost on real committment and belief that your community is unique and marketable.

What is a portrait of bureaucrat doing on that webpage, first impression for prospective tourists to see? No other use but to glorify Runsewe and depict him as "Nigeria", "look at me, I'm the best because my webmaster obeys me".
What a sad case when mediocre people with mediocre achievments highjack websites of national importance.

Hello zexyworm, I have made some effort to visit different so called tourism sites in Nigeria and I think a little bit of honesty is required. The environment is not ready, there is no infrastructure, people are not well trained, problems with power and security, the expense of flying to Nigeria and accommodation and so on. I believe deep down we all know this. Sometimes what you see online can be a reflection of the truth. If we are talking about business people that is a completely different matter. You ask any expatriate in Lagos when was the last time they went to a different state just to see the site if work was not involved. We are doing our little bit with www.ip4hotels.com. Regards |
