Not much is known about tourism and the tourist attractions in Nigeria.

Why? The answer is not far fetched.

Nigeria has been presented in a negative light lately, mostly because the media projects its people as mostly internet fraudsters.

This has hurt the country’s image so much so that people from other parts of the world fail to see the good that could come out of Nigeria and its people.

Internally, poor security, incessant corruption scandals surrounding the political elite, and overall poor living standards have caused so many Nigerian’s to “give up” on the ability of the government to make policies and execute projects that will better their lives.

They too do not believe that anything can come out of this Nation, which is NOT TRUE.

Nigeria is a blessed nation both materially and in terms of human resources. Nigeria is endowed with about 34 solid minerals identified in 450 locations in the country which include bitumen, gold, coal, iron ore, limestone, lead/zinc ores, limestone, and barites.

With 53.2% of the general population falling between the age of 15 and 65, the country boasts a strong workforce, a huge source of skilled, semi-skilled, and unskilled labor available to both local brands and foreign investors.

With hundreds of natural tourists’ attractions, some of which are UNESCO World Heritage Site, the nation’s beauty is a sight to behold.

The unique forest dynasty that is found in Ngwo Pine is a huge draw for visitors.

Romantically set by Mother Nature with sharp twists for adventure seekers, beautifully set pine trees and gently flowing stream for lovers, and the loud splashing of the waters inside the dark cleft inside a cave would blow off one’s imagination.
