"It is now too expensive to go to London, Dubai and America. Come and holiday in Yankari! #BuyNaijaToGrowTheNaira". - @GovMAA

As the value of the Naira reached an all time low, and with states struggling to generate enough revenue to pay their workers, the Bauchi state government has come up with a solution to generate more revenue - tourism.

Governor M. A. Abubakar who took to his official twitter handle (@GovMAA) called on Nigerians to holiday in Yankari, Bauchi state, as it is now too expensive to do so in Dubai and London at the prevailing exchange rates. The governor who posted scintillating pictures of the games reserve, caused a twitter storm. Most Nigerians seemed to like the idea including former vice-president Atiku Abubakar, and Senator Ben Murray Bruce who retweeted the governor’s tweet. Others however, raised security concerns about visiting the North Eastern state.

The governor in subsequent tweets allayed any security fears, saying that Bauchi is not only safe and secure, the people are also peace loving and accommodating. He further stated that his administration will take advantage of the slump in international tourism to grow the local economy, and Yankari Games reserve remains pivotal to the growth of tourism.

I love this sudden patriotic orientation that is stylishly cripping into the Heart's of Nigerians. We seem to have come out of our fictitious life. I have always maintained that Nigeria can do without depnding so much on import
