When he talks about aviation and tourism, he does so with passion. Dr. Franklin Adejuwon , one-time Commissioner for Home Affairs and Tourism in Lagos State and later Minister of State in the Ministry of Agriculture and Natural Resources, in this interview, speaks on what the country needs to do to revive the aviation and tourism sectors.
He also speaks on the purported sale of the National Theatre, the railway and why government should leave pilgrimage in the hands of private tour operators.
On the state of the tourism industry with crises in many parts of the country
Well, tourism is particularly vulnerable to crisis of all kinds, be it socio-economic, socio-political, terrorism or even mishandling, mis-management and bad planning. It reacts very easily to internal and external shocks but returns to growth when the situation normalizes.
On the change needed from President Buhari in the tourism industry
No doubt, development of the industry did enjoy massive support between 2000 and 2008; it was actually placed as one of the six priority goals of the then regime principally because of the need to develop the non-oil sector of the economy as well as the influence the industry has on both rapid physical and socio-cultural development of the nation.
As a result of the priority placed on this sector by Nigeria, international organizations like the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) and World Tourism Organisation (UNWTO) came to the support of Nigeria with heavy funding and technical know-how.
These efforts heralded the production of the National Tourism Master Plan which is a 15-year-road map for the development of the industry in Nigeria. Unfortunately, the process has been badly managed if not almost destroyed by several circumstances by the immediate past government.
With this in mind, and the huge economic, security and social problems facing the new government, it may be difficult to advise the new government to place the industry on the same platform it enjoyed during the Obasanjo regime, neither can we get the support of those international organizations without adequately attending to the unimaginable level of meaningless and frugal expenditures of the Ministry of Culture and Tourism as well as its major parastatals.
However, the industry is itself a driver of national economy; it is supposed to contribute and support national environment and physical growth of a nation. It is a self-rejuvenating industry, which shall resurrect through another sphere presumably at the regional or state level depending on how fast the country is able to recover from her huge problems.

On what should be done in the aviation industry that has a role to play in tourism growth.
It has been an unpalatable situation in the aviation sector and I am sure the President must have received a cup over flouring as to the immense financial and management recklessness that have plagued that sector in the last five years....
