The convener of Africa’s largest cultural fusion, Culturati, Idris Aregbe, has pledged to leverage on the continent’s rich culture to retain employment in the tourism sector and boost Gross Domestic Product (GDP) in 2021 beyond projected limit.
Aregbe made this submission recently at the 13th edition of the annual entertainment festival in Lagos themed, “Unleashing African Potentials”.
The convener also noted that Culturati would be aggressively promoting tourism to ensure that Nigerians depending directly on the sector for survival retain their jobs this 2021.
“The sector previously contributed 5.1 per cent to Nigeria’s GDP. This could aid the country’s economic growth beyond the 1.1 percent projected for 2021 by some experts if well harnessed and cultural potentials unleashed to address the country’s need,” he added.
