Enugu State Ministry of Culture and Tourism has pledged to key into the state’s strategic plan of growing the Internally Generated Revenue (IGR) from N4.4billion to N30billion annually.
Commissioner for Culture and Tourism, Dame Ugochi Madueke, who made the pledge, said the ministry would soon begin identification of over one hundred tourists’ sites to serve as a vital tool towards making Enugu State the best
She said such development would enable the ministry to tackle challenges confronting the sites, especially those across hinterland
Speaking with reporters at the state secretariat in Enugu, Madueke said introduction of a unified e-ticketing scheme within tourism facilities would lead to economic growth, adding that e-ticketing would maximally reduce corrupt practices around the environment.
