This one is for those Cross River state sceptic about their potential in tourism. Senate partners UN to boost tourism Prepares bill to ban killing of wild animals From Azimazi Momoh Jimoh, Abuja THE drive towards boosting the country's tourism potentials within the international community received a boost yesterday as the United Nations (UN) promised to assist the nation in achieving the vision. At a meeting with the Senate Committee on Environment and Ecology in the National Assembly, the UN Ambassador for Year of the Gorilla, Mr. Jan Redman, said that the international organisation had observed Nigeria's tourists potentials and was ready to assist in developing it. He noted that the varieties of wild animals in the country, especially gorilla, were sufficient to earn huge foreign exchange for the country. According to him, many African countries like Uganda survived on tourism earnings which was made possible through the preservation of gorillas in that country. Redman declared that the number of gorillas found in Nigeria, especially in Cross River State, was enough to enhance Nigeria's tourist attractions if preserved He noted, however, that the culture of killing the animal for food and other purposes was threatening its survival in the country. "It is important that measures are taken to prevent gorilla from going into extinction in Nigeria," he stated. Earlier, Chairman of the Senate Committee on Environment and Ecology, Grace Bent, declared that in a bid to preserve wild animals in the country, the Senate was preparing a bill to protect and ban the killing of such animals in order to boost the country's tourism potentials. "The increased rate of industrialisation, urban development, human population growth, overgrazing, deforestation, oil and gas exploration in Nigeria is producing serious impact on our biodiversity. By this, I mean the variability among living organisms from all sources including terrestrial, marine and other aquatic ecosystems. The reason for this meeting with the UN Ambassador is to raise awareness on the preservation of our biodiversity," she said. Bent continued: "The committee has taken giant strides in terms of proffering solutions to the problems through evolving various bills including the Climate Change Bill for an Act to provide for the management and conservation of Nigerian biodiversity; the protection of species and ecosystems that warrant national protection; the sustainable use of indigenous biological resources; the fair and equitable sharing of benefits arising from bio-prospecting involving indigenous biological resources; as well as the establishment of the National Biodiversity Institute and for matters connected therewith." http://odili.net/news/source/2009/sep/17/23.html |

I will not come on this forum and be bragging about living outside Nigeria, I know where i would love to be resides rather than London. |

LETS TALK ABOUT MORE IMPORTANT THINGS. Like what? that I have not talk about. |

But that ain't for tourism, is it? That looks more like some recreational center of some sort. That there reminds me of those years when we would go to the Apapa Amusement park or the Water park in Lagos to play, or even the amusement park somewhere in owerrri. Only there were more rides and definitely bigger crowd. Please lets be optimistic for ones about Nigeria, as I said earlier, I am one of the critics of the bad governance in Nigeria but coming on here to tell me that TINAPA BUSINESS RESORT is an amusement park that way out of order. For the record, I am not even from that part of Nigeria but I appreciate little effort of the Cross Rivers state government is providing for her citizen compare to what is obtain in other part of Nigeria. This state is one of the cleanest state if not number 1 in Nigeria. Checkout this youtube video of Calabar. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c2KjYQz1EfA&feature=fvw |

ALL am sayin is that state govts in nigeria are sometimes waste of public funds. cus they come up with kindagarten ideas - and waste money on it. If u think recreation and better environment is not part of what can improve your health and your standard of living, then think again. |

@ovie There is not interesting about this at all. Poster, you are too local you need to travel out.Pls tell me what makes u think I have not? this people are just too cocky. |
![]() |
there are better tins 2 spend state funds on. There is no way you can tell me that Cross River state is not one of the best state in Nigeria. This state generate from tourism than any state in Nigeria, coming here to tell me that there are better things to spend the state fund on, other that improving there tourism potential is ridiculous. |

IT is enheartening that the Ministry of Foreign Affairs has seen the need to engage some of the foreign embassies in Nigeria in discussions over the difficulties our citizens continue to face procuring visa to respective countries notably the United States, China, and the EU countries. The 'Mutual Collaborative Partnership on Consular Problems' is conceived as a series of meetings to ease the process of granting visa to intending travellers as well as address the humiliation that Nigerians are generally subjected to at these embassies. It is about time that this step was taken for, there appears to be a case of 'country profiling' going on. The suffering - and this is no exaggeration - that many foreign missions put Nigerian visa applicants through is a long running story that is almost stale now. Whereas it used to be the lot of the 'people to queue up, rain or shine, in front of the embassies at 4 a.m. to keep an 8 a.m. interview appointment, whereas only the very ordinary Nigerians were required to physically present themselves to process their visa applications - including the mere collection of own passport. Now, top government officials, well-known businessmen, senior citizens of our country, indeed every Nigerian is now expected, in addition to the exorbitant charges payable, to, so to speak, 'come swallow some pill of humiliation' in exchange for wanting to visit some of the countries engaged in this ignoble treatment of citizens of their host countries. Important national assignments abroad have suffered delay or cancellation because one embassy or the other refused to grant entry visa to the applicants. Two examples: Just last week, the chief coach of the National Under-20 team, Samson Siasia cried out that his team was being held up from a training trip to Spain by the delay to procure visa for the team that should play a match this September in Egypt. In July 2008, the National Troupe aborted a 16-day performance tour of Trinidad and Tobago because the United Kingdom embassy denied the group mere transit visa. No one knows how many Nigerian businesses have failed to secure crucial deals because of visa denial, often for vague reasons. Visa applicants are asked to apply online, but usually appointment dates are unavailable or there is a long queue of requests that is a year long. This has since inspired in a growing visa racketeering business. This is not at all acceptable. Indeed, we should think some international rule on mission behaviour in a host country as well as the treatment of visa applicants is being breached and we hereby challenge our foreign affairs officials and relevant experts to look into this. The latest trend is to outsource some aspects of the consular services to a contractor. The American embassy has since last October done this in what it termed partnering with 'VFS Global , to provide more convenient, secure and user-friendly services to visa applicants' at an additional cost to be borne by the applicant. We grant, of course, that there is much that is wrong with the way and manner many - but certainly neither most nor all - Nigerians go about seeking to procure foreign visas. We even concede that some in high places act irresponsibly in this respect, such as using diplomatic passport when they should not, and abusing the privilege to boot, such as travelling for the flimsiest of reasons in order to collect 'estacode', such as protocol officers loading the list of genuine official visa requests with their own applicants. Far more heinous is the knack of many of our country men and women to submit forged documents in desperation to meet the required conditions of some embassies and to get out of their own country at any cost. And this is a fundamental question to address by government. Why are many Nigerians so desperate to leave home? The answer is obvious: there is, in a manner of speaking, 'no sweetness here' in the broadest sense of the phrase. As government discusses with the offending embassies, there should be no mincing words: they need to be reminded that the principle of reciprocity can and may be applied fully if they do not mend their ways. http://odili.net/news/source/2009/sep/4/34.html |

Sanusi himself disclosed this on Tuesday in Abuja at a press briefing held after the 210 edition of the Monetary Policy Committee (MPC) meeting. According to Sanusi, the N420 billion given to the five troubled banks was not a bailout but financial intervention to bring back those banks into a position where they would be able to meet their contractual obligations to their customers What is the diff between bailout and financial intevention? Nigeria sabi English pass oyinbo sef. |
