This hotel is balm.”

THE acquisition of the first ever Boat Hotel in
the world by the Lagos State Government has
been described as an impetus and enhancer of tourism activities in Lagos State in particular and Nigeria as a nation.
The Director-General, Nigerian Tourism Development Corporation (NTDC), the agency charged with the promotion and development of tourism in Nigeria, Otunba Olusegun Runsewe made this observation while sending a congratulatory message to the Governor of Lagos State, Mr. Raji Fashola.
Otunba Runsewe while speaking with journalists over the purchase of the Boat Hotel noted that “it is gratifying that the Lagos State Governor, Mr. Raji Fashola has made history in Africa as the first Governor of a state to acquire a boat hotel of four-star status, thereby setting a spectacular pace in hospitality tourism.”
The DG, NTDC said he was particularly happy that Governor Fashola has not wavered in his stride at restoring the glory of Lagos State as the most desired tourists city in West Africa.
“Governor Fashola is a man of extraordinary vision. He has a clear understanding of what Lagos State requires to climb the ladder of lost glory and he has never wavered for a minute since he assumed office.
Otunba Runsewe also commended the agility of the Lagos State Commissioner for Tourism, Barrister Tokunbo Afikuyomi for driving the tourism vision of Governor Fashola with passion.
“I also want to commend the aggression and passion of the Lagos State Commissioner for Tourism, Senator Tokunbo Afikuyomi who has been driving Governor Fashola’s tourism vision with all the energies God almighty deposited in him.”
Otunba Runsewe said people like Senator Afikuyomi are assets to Nigeria development as “it is one thing for a Governor to have a vision on a particular sector. It is another thing for his commissioner to see through the vision, embrace it and make it work. This is what Senator Afikuyomi has exhibited since his appointment.”
The DG pointed out that the Boat Hotel is not just a spectacular tourism edifice, but a developmental assets for Lagos State and Nigeria.
He said he was not looking at the Boat Hotel from point of its beauty and fancy, but as an economic assets which is capable of employing over one thousand Nigerians and generate wealth.” “The vessels is not just a luxury on the sea but a powerful economic ship which will lure tourists to Nigeria, in droves, create employment, empower people and generate wealth.
He charged other state governor to emulate Governor Fashola “who has confirmed to give credence to all his campaign programmes not only by executing them but implementing them beyond peoples expectation.
“Governor Fashola should be emulated by other state Governors whose states have numerous tourism potentialities but refused to enhance them. Here is Governor Fashola who is using tourism, not only to create employment, empower people, generate wealth but also to re-brand Lagos. This is wonderful.”
