The Lagos Government says the state’s rich culture and arts have become key drivers of tourism, entertainment, investment and economic growth while also opening new opportunities for thousands of young entrepreneurs across the state.
Idris Aregbe, the Special Adviser to the state governor on Tourism, Arts and Culture, made the assertion while addressing pressmen in Lagos on the efforts by Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu’s administration at making Lagos a priority destination for tourists.
Aregbe said the state’s approach was built on the conviction that Lagos was “not merely a city, but a civilisation,” adding that every programme rolled out by his office over the last 12 months was designed to turn culture into economic value.
According to him, the strategy is already yielding results through major public-private partnerships, structured tourism events and creative economy interventions that are drawing vendors, investors, visitors and international attention to Lagos.
