Niger to boost tourism with durbar
The Niger State
government said it will host 46 Commonwealth countries to a grand
durbar on October 13, to boost the tourism potential of the state.
Adamu Chika, the
Commissioner for Tourism and Culture, said this in Minna at the Minna
Emirate’s durbar, organised as part of the Eid-El-Fitr celebration.
Mr Chika said that
the durbar was part of the state’s strategy to expose its rich cultural
and tourism potential to the international community.
“The Niger State Government has successfully created ‘The Niger
Durbar’ which has attracted the attention of the international
community. A clear demonstration of this is a request made by delegates
from the 46 Commonwealth countries, who would be in Nigeria for an
international programme,’’ he said.
