On his part, Governor Nyesom Wike called on federal and state governments to be more focused on tourism investment and development. The governor, who was represented by his commissioner for tourism, Mrs. Tonye Briggs-Oniyide, said for tourism to grow in the country, it would require wholesome commitment from the government, investors and stakeholders in the various aspects of the sector. Wike said air transport and tourism complement each other, therefore insisting that both should be treated well while challenging both the federal and other state governments to implement existing policies on tourism and culture, address deficit in infrastructure and ensure safety and security of lives and property. The national carrier was liquidated by ex-President Olusegun Obasanjo’s administration in 2005, and the workers had been embarking on protests nationwide over their unpaid entitlements .
